Chiming with a reminder to get your tickets for the Ventures Fan Jam! It is promised to be another one of a kind event and it's even catered! Come jam, talk guitars, meet new friends, talk to the Ventures, or try out a few Hallmarks. There will also be raffles and auctions for some cool one of a kind Ventures collectables!

You should make this gig if you live anywhere east of the Mississippi! One guy flew in from Japan! Totally worth it.

BTW, we are discounting any Hallmark Guitar at the event $100.00 off the already low direct price just like last year! If you would like to purchase a certain guitar at the event, please contact us and we will be happy to bring it along. This saves you $100.00 plus there is no shipping charge to boot! This is almost like getting paid to attend! (Logic says yes!)

Anyway, get your guitar ready and please get in touch with Tom and reserve your ticket and hope to see you there!

Thanks Bob for ALL EFFORTS on your end. Not to be overlooked & I surely know you're
a busy guy but that 'possible mention' in VINTAGE GUITAR & netting several SUNDAZED
VENTURES RE-RELEASES for buddy Bernie's silent auction. Again kudos on your fine
rhetoric!

Hi Tom and Bob!
Man what a great time I had last year at the Ventures fan festival!
The Ventures for one thing (Bob S., Leon T. and their families were just so nice!)! And all of the great people I got to meet and talk with. Everyone was just so nice and I made new friends! I have the new CD from THE ADVENTURES from Syracuse, New York, and I can tell you that they will be fantastic this year at the fest! And last year's show had The Pickniks and Guys With Guitars and they both were (are) just great!
Now...not last at all is Bob Shade and Hallmark Guitars.....His guitars are amazing! I know the new ADVENTURES CD has a three tone burst 60 Custom guitar on it that was purchased at last year's show...and it sounds great on the CD!
Lots of Hallmarks and Mosrites at the show!!
I highly recommend (if you couldn't tell!) attending the 2012 East Coast Fan Fest!
Contact Tom (balt11tab) here via pm and he will take good care of you and make sure you are a part of the event.

Thanks!
-Gary

Since the date for this event got buried in one of the multiple posts about this topic at the bottom of the main page I'll add it here. Hopefully this is the correct date.

The OFFICIAL date for this year's jam is Saturday October 13th.

[balt11tab]

Danny- Right on with the date!

[Bob Shade]

This is a super event loaded with Mosrite, Hallmark, Wilson Brothers and all sorts of guys who love their surf guitars. If you can come please do, get in touch with Tom for this one of a kind event, we are looking to sell out this year.

I would Venture to say this event will Knock You Out!
