Ken Wagman...

Won the Ruth Hollander award this year! Ken has never missed a V.C.C.C convention since 1996. That's 21 years! He is a strong advocate for our club. I'm glad Ken was the recipient this year! Chad Cunnigham had special trophies made. They light up displaying the V.C.C.C logo. Everyone was in awe! Because they looked so nice!

As John mentioned.......

A few of us went to BMX Garry's on Wednesday morning. Garry was most welcoming to our club. Despite the incident which occurred. I had actually been to Garry's before, Shane introduced me to Garry. Thanks, Shane! There is a group picture of us at Garry's building. Someone has it has it on their phone. I will have to get that from them. [this post was last edited: 6/27/2017-13:01]

Trophies..

I wanted to post an up-close picture of the trophies that Chad had special made. Chad worked very hard coordinating the making of the trophies and his work really paid off. They looked excellent! Thanks again, Chad!

The Most Innovative award went to Phillip Muller for his commercial Eureka canister with the Don Clark power nozzle.
