Well, I headed down to the TOR with mixed feelings, thinking this may be last last time it will be held in the Orem Scout Office, with the eventual shutting down of LDS Scouting in Utah. My efforts to show the heritage of Scouting at events didn't make much difference.
Wiatt was selling strong and good to have him there. I spent some time with Jerry from Hurrican Utah. I bought some square knots from him and fully enjoyed discussing Scouting with him. He has a rich history and some amazing woodwork of hiking sticks shown below. He also has some amazing OA patch display and a Scout area in his estate that I would love to see if traveling south.
I bought a couple pins from Steve and saw the uniform I bid on a couple months ago. He had it for +$800 and I wasn't even in the game. Steve always seems to get the great things I'm after.
I stayed until 10 then decided to head home. For some reason I just wasn't up to coming back for the auctions and spending money. I asked Wiatt to bid a on few things that he wasn't interested in and he got me 3 things - he's so kind and a great friend.

| Steve bought this pocket patch of the Boy Rangers of America last year. |
 |
| Wiatt has something for everyone when it comes to patches! |
 |
| I only brought a few patch displays this year which is more than I brought last year. |
 |
| Jerry from Huricane Utah had an amazing walking stick and he's done several. |
