Several of my CH friends have been kind enough to recently enquire about my health and if I will be able to make it to Bowers this year. Recently I have been very ill. However, as I am now recovering, Joanne & I hope to make it to Bowers for *Saturday*. To make it easier for me, we have tentative plans to arrive at Kutstown early Fri evening and stay at a local motel. Doug (the "Chile King") tells me that he will have a formal booth at Bowers, just like the other vendors - giving out free samples from his smokers. (He'll be the highest-end vendor there!) I hope to see many of my CH friends there. Best regards, AndyB www.abarnhart.com
