I was able to attend the 2024 workshop in Las Cruces, NM. This was an outstanding event. Very glad I had the opportunity to attend. The instructors were great. There were a lot of hands-on opportunities. Met a lot of greats folks willing to share their knowledge and experience. Quite a diverse group...from hobbyist, small farmers, ranchers, to Hopi windmill crews. Instructors Carlos Rosencrans, Craig Runyan, Jerry Barker, Charlie Royall, George Woodruff, and Bob Hayter are very passionate about their profession and did a great job with the workshop. If you haven't attending the workshop, plan to do so. I hope to be able to attend again in the future.
Day 1 - Wednesday, May 29. Check-in and introductions. The workshop began at Noon. Did not get any pics of the classroom on this day.

That's awesome. I meant to ask you how it went when we were in Pipestone but never got around to it. Thanks for posting.
