Three members were bestowed Lifetime Memberships in WAGS, Sandy Glenn and Jim and Diana Hickling, well deserved by all 3 for their dedication and involvement with WAGS.
Camp Oven Chefs were recognized with personalized WAGS aprons and a camp oven badge for each year they have participated.
Probably 30 door prizes and 6 raffle prizes that included some cast iron pieces, certificates for a free night's stay and a Dayton themed gift basket.
Hospitality suite each night abounded with great information, war stories and just getting to know each other better. Staff at the Radisson Dayton made for a smooth, fun weekend.
Clear your schedule next year for the last weekend in September and get yourself to a WAGS Convention and stop missing out!
