I want to thank "everyone" for all the hard work and time they put into this wonderful Festival. This was my first but not my last visit and enjoyed it so much. Mr. Boyd, you are a class act my man. All the "celebs" where great, and for me, the discussion panels where the best. Vendors had some neato things to look at, wished I had a $1000.00, I'd spent every cent.
Will see you and hopefully all the "stars" next year. Can't wait, already saving the dimes and quarters.
Again, Thank you so much for a wonderful week.

Ditto here - - my first time also and it was wonderful. I went to see James Stacy - a dream come true. But I so enjoyed the others like Darby Hinton, Robert Fuller, William Smith - - I too will be saving my pennies and nickels because somehow, someway - I will be there again next year. Thanks to all for making this such a memorable trip for me!!
Take care,dp

On behalf of myself and ALL the "Lancer Ladies" we want to give a huge THANK YOU to Boyd & Ray and their better halves, along with Bonnie and everyone else for planning such a fabulous event!
WE HAD A BLAST! Hopefully James & Tig will get a nice long nap on the plane ride back home.
In addition, we enjoyed ALL the celebrities!!! Darby Hinton, Mitch Vogel, Robert Fuller, Louie Elias, John Buttram, Jeff Connors and Jan Shepard, just to name a few, but to exclude none.
This was truly a magical time for everyone involved!

I'd like to add my thanks!
This was an awesome festival. Cheyenne, Sugarfoot & Bronco all together - wow! I just loved every minute.
All of the celebrities: James Stacy, Mitch Vogel, Darby Hinton, Jeff Connors, Hugh O'Brien, Robert Fuller, Dirk London, Jan Shepherd, Dick Jones - what a great group of people!
I am most definitely planning to come back next year. Last year was great; this year was awesome - I cannot wait to see what next year brings!
Thank you to everyone!
Marigold

My sister and I had a great time. This was our 2nd time and we will be like the others, saving our coins to attend next year. We loved seeing William Smith, James Stacy, Darby Hinton and all the rest. Hopefully they will all be back next year. Thank you so much for making it a wonderful experience and opportunity to be close up and friendly with these legendary actors. Thank you again, Terri

Wonderful event! Enjoyed each day and am looking forward to next year. ALL the guests were friendly and took time with fans. Each person brought something special to the meeting. It's a dream come true to see all the WB guys together, and Hugh also. The music and dinner special was great. My special memory is thanks to Darby Hinton and Johnny Western. Thanks for some very special days with some cool guys and ladies.

All of your comments are deeply appreciated. Boyd and I thank you from the bottoms of our hearts. The kick we get out of this is seeing so many people having such a good time. Without the support of each and every one of you we wouldn't be able to do this. As you could see from the back of our program, we've already begun working on 2011. There will be many more suprises in the offing. May you all have a happy and healthy year, and we look forward to A Gathering of Guns III a year from now.

Thanks so much to all of you that put so much work into making a most wonderful and enjoyable event. As one of the "Lancer Ladies" I have to say it far exceeded my expectations. We couldn't have felt more welcome and we had so much fun with each other and many many others. It was a dream come true to meet James Stacy. And all the stars were so gracious and fun. And all the fans were so fun to meet and hang out with too. It was wonderful to meet people from all over the country and the world, all there to enjoy and honor the westerns we all love. I will always remember and treasure this festival and hope for history to repeat itself next year! Thanks again for everything, Mary O

I want to thank all the staff who made this such a great event. I know how much hard work you put into this to make it so enjoyable for the fans. I was a first timer this year but I plan on attending next year. Half the fun was meeting so many fans who enjoyed the same shows I did and meeting the stars of those shows. I had a great time at the GOG 2010 and am looking forward to the GOG 2011.

I had a great time at the show, as I always do! The celebrities were very gracious with their time and a pleasure to meet and visit with. I enjoyed getting the chance to chat with Clint Walker, a native of my neck of the woods, and he told me about some of the jobs he used to have before he went West. What a nice fellow!
The dealer room and vendors were top notch, as usual. The titles selected for viewing in the film rooms were great. It was hard to decide which ones to see! The highlight of the show, for me, are the Old Time Radio Re-enactments. Unfortunately, I had other business during the weekend and could only attend the Festival on Friday. So, I missed the banquet and the second radio program, this year. But, I did catch the sing-a-long, the trivia contest, and The Cisco Kid radio episode from 1948. The radio show was fantastic and so much fun to watch!
I met several wonderful women that called themselves "Lancer Ladies". They came from all over the world to meet James Stacy and his brother, Lou Elias. They were so much fun to talk and kid around with. These young ladies were obviously having the time of their lives and their enthusiasm was nothing less than infectious!
I want to thank all of the Western Stars for attending this year's show and all of the event's organizers for their hard work and dedication to the Film Festival and for keeping the spirit of the Wild West alive. Thank You everyone!

While I can only comment for myself, as one of the Lancer Ladies I to want to thank all of you for giving us a wonderful time and a great event. I know how much work goes into setting something like this up and truly enjoyed meeting all the stars (especially Mr. Stacy) and seeing all the panel discussions. The Banquet was especially fun as were the radio recreations. Again, thanks for such a wonderful event and I look forward to attending again next year.

I had a great time as well. Being a newbie AND a vendor (Gathering of Guns T-Shirts and awards supplier), it was doubly fun for me, even though I didn't get to see any of the films or shows. Too busy meeting wonderful people, both fans and celebrities alike. I definitely want to do it again next year and hope we can make it as special as this year.

A huge thank-you for the well done event! I enjoyed meeting all the stars; who were warm, generous with their time and appreciative of the people waiting in line to meet them. The panel discussions were entertaining in listening to the stars tell their behind-the-scene stories. I attended all of the panels. One observation I could like to share - would it be possible for those in the audience asking questions to step forward to a standing microphone (or pass a hand-held mike?) so everyone could hear the questions? Or have one of the moderators repeat the question? Some were difficult to hear, even on the DVDs.
Thank you!
