– Springfield Armory for lots of swag.
– Lori Petoske of Strum, Ruger & Co., Inc. brought with her laptop type bags, hats, mugs and other swag.

– Hi-Point Firearms donated a 9mm carbine
– Front Sight donated a four day training voucher
– Leupold – the makers of (IMHO) the world’s finest scopes donated a Leupold VX3 scope – delivered by Allen Forkner of Swanson • Russell
– Crimson Trace donated a pistol case, range bag, swag and a voucher for a laser grip
– GLOCK donated a voucher for a standard model GLOCK
– Jeff Bader, on behalf of Solider’s Angels, donated three copies of Solider’s Angels: “May No Soldier Go Unloved”
– David Whitewolf of Random Nuclear Strikes donates two signed copies of Stephen Halbrook’s books.

– Dan Hall of (coming soon) GunUp.com donated GunUp.com shirts
Of course, there’s the Silver Legacy for providing the hospitality room and a projector!
If there is anyone I’ve missed, let me know.
The Gunblogger Rendezvous is a terrific event where bloggers – and readers! can get together and share some good times, compare notes, and shoot stuff!
Make a note – probably in September 2011, in your calendar to attend next year’s GBR.
