On Wednesday August 6th, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, time to relax, sleep in, sit back, eat and drink, met and mingle, sit back, eat and drink, met and mingle, and enjoy Vendor/Manufacture's Day!  Every Wednesday of All-4-Fun's is set aside to do all the above mentioned. Some even took the opportunity to fish, do another trail, or take a mine tour, or??

   The manufacture's set up under and around the 'big top' early for the day.  By 10:30am, most were set up and chatting with participants already.  It was a 'shopping mall' of who's who in the 4x4 aftermarket industry.  Owners and reps from many big names were on hand to answer questions and give special show discounts.  

   Anyone who wanted to have his or her rig in the Show-N-Shine set up from 9:30am-11:00am. This year's Show-N-Shine had all kinds of rigs, and a new twist on category's.  Norris M. created categories for everyone to participate.

   The Kid's Games Committee entertained the kids from 10am to 3pm.  All the kid's got to participate in many skill games in hope of a trophy that night, and it looked like they had a blast.  Chevette L. and her team put together some fun games, and deserve a round of applause!  

    After a full morning and early afternoon just around camp, one can get wore out!  A relaxing afternoon with friends, and a chance to check out the area, or some even took a Jeep trip to explore the many mines in the area.  Wednesday is a 'break' from the week to relax any way you want.

    At 5pm, the MHJC BBQ Committee served up another great meal of BBQ Chicken and beef!! The rains came and went, just enough to keep the dust down, but they were also a welcome sight. Then around 7pm under the 'big top', all of the Kid's Games, and show and shine awards were handed out by Chevette L..

   Norris M. announced the winners of the Show-N-Shine, and they gladly accepted their trophy.  Each winner received a trophy custom built by Alpine Trophies in Littleton, CO.  We had close to 60 entries in this year's event, and raised $193 for Children's Hospital from the Peoples Choice votes.
