Its on the last Saturday of march and last year the award ceremony and dinner was held at a hall in Livermore falls. i was just wondering if anyone on here was apart of that and also if anyone plans to attend this year. heres a few pics from last years derby.....i didn't place Sad go figure my wife did....i think she took third or possibly second, she a hell of a shot!!, ill have to go find the award to know for sure.

    good luck this weekend, i haven’t had the chance to get out much between my wife having surgery last week and building my house every weekend; doesn’t leave much time for playing.
