Our 2011 Rendezvous logo
The 9th Annual Penturners Rendevous was held on Wednesday evening, May 18th in Provo UT. It was a great success with over 125 pen afficienados in attendance. We had vendors, displays, demos, and tons of door prizes. Demos for the evening by Kurt Hertzog, Bill Jackman, and Anthony Turchetta. Per past events, the doors opened promptly at 7pm and the door prize drawings began at 9. Everyone in attendance won something! Two mini-lathes, tools galore, books, videos, products, magazine subscriptions, kits, and pen blanks by the case.

Thanks to the folks who made this year's event a big success. In addition to Kurt Hertzog, Bill Jackman, Elysa Jackman, Emilie Jackman, and Bob Altig all played major roles in the prep and execution of the event. There were also many who helped behind the scenes as well as pitching in at the event. A special thanks to all who attended, both for the first time as well as those who make it an annual ritual. It all can happen because of the generosity of the vendors at the event along with those who can't attend. Below is the listing of this year's sponsors.
