The 2018 Northwest Regional Meeting was a very successful
endeavor attended by ten of our members and one friend. A number of other HSCA
members stopped by to say hello. The assembled members were in total agreement
to expand our show for next year, so Jerry requested more tables in the application
for that show. The Oregon Arms Collectors Gun Show is an excellent venue for
the HSCA as sale table offerings and exhibits are limited to only
“Collectible and Antique fire arms”. Several people picked up applications for membership from
our Membership Table.
Display Awards went to the following: Bill Riebe, Best of
Show, for his Early Guns; Garry Hooper, Most Educational Display Award; and
Bert Markel, Judges Choice Award for his display of Olympics. As can be seen in the images, the other
High Standard displays were excellent, and this had
the judges scratching their heads to make their decisions with only three awards to give.
