I think we will have it at the Carver sportsman club this year , thanks MikeCC :cheers:

We should do nametags

Start getting going on your contest plugs, it is open to all.

Bring food and drink, it will be a great time once again I'm sure

Good move:jump:

Missed it last year looking forward to meeting everyone again.

Wasn't here last year. I would love to attend and see others' work and to hopefully get some tips from some of you guys. Where was it last year?

I'll bring something to chow on as well. So February 16th it is?

Scott, I'm in Line!!:buds:

Sounds great, I'll mark it on the calendar !

I cant make the 16th:af:

I'm game. Looking forward to it :kewl:!

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

See you there Dave and Kris

We will start another thread on this later on about the details.
In the meantime, get cracking on some contest plugs everyone.

Numbskull is toast.:smokin::uhuh:

excellent! we will be there!

Our intension in having it at Carver Sportsmens Club is to have a Buy ,Sell ,Trade ,flea market type thing downstairs and the regular plugfest upstairs.

We talked about this last year and you guys said that you would like to see something like this happen. So Slip and I talked and made it happen. We have a full kitchen, better bathrooms, hardwood floors for clean up :D , more parking bigger building. I also got the building a lot cheaper so we can give more money to S-B to support the site.

By buy sell trade mike you mean folks can bring things to sell lures, old tackle etc?

We have not worked out any specifics yet but that is what we plan.

I'm back in, did a little arranging of schedules last night...

Excellent :kewl: You didn't have to promise the wife anything crazy did you......Like taking ballroom dancing lessons or a day at the outlet stores

LMAO... no, actualy the whole thing was to do with me.. but she WAS INVOLVED.... My goal this year is to go home with as many plugs as I arrive with... somehow... I had an empty case that was full when I got there! :confused::biglaugh: I'm working on some nice trade bait right now...:grins:

Rock- Glad you can make it!
I owe you one from last year! Yours is hangin on my tree right now!!

plug fest ideas
 

Always been a great time.

Suggest having a contest with categories:
plugs up to 5"
plugs between 5 and 10"
plugs over 10"

same for swimmers.

novelty plugs

Winner of each group gets to keep all submissions.

I don't know.....I see this as a distraction more than a benefit. Plugfest should be about plugs, making them admiring the workmanship and learning both how to and the history thereof.

Keep it a plug based event, a flea market swap could make plugfest end up being a circus instead.

Keep it as it has been the last two years and the club facility is outstanding, it will be great there.

That is where having 2 floors will help keep things seperated.

You will be drawing alot of folks who do not build plugs just looking to buy......it could get out of hand! Just my .02 cents....carry on! I will be there either way!:btu:

I understand the seperate floors but still don't like the idea. Too many things and people to keep track of. It's like, "do I display up stairs or get a table downstairs to sell a few surplus plugs %$%$%$%$?

Keep it Plugfest only please, it's a great event by itself and it gets bigger and better each year on it's own merits.

I am goign to bring a big bucket of eels and hurl insults at all you plug guys.

Right now I am having thoughts of staying home, OTW, Flea market :hidin: Naahhh

Not a problem we can keep it just plug fest. Was just going by waht a few guys talked about earlier. we can do the flea market thing another time.

Will the Bar be available? :hee:

Won't know for sure unless you try new things just like building plugs.:tooth:I'm in either ways good group of people and some good food can't ask for much more then that.

We'll still be able to trade, right??????

yep...bst open first thing for two hours..done..everybody out...door locked....open 1 hour after lunch....done..pack it up...few hours wouldn't kill the fest for folks looking to buy/sell/trade/pick-up some wanted goodies and save a buck.

This would be the place to disburse a group purchase of AYC, if anyone knows where to get a decent volume price........ I would be in.

Same here with the AYC
