PlugFest/Great Way To Spend The Day!
Just wanted to say that a great time was had by all today at the annual PlugFest! What a great way to spend a cold February day! To all I had the chance to speak with and spend time with thanks for a great day! To all the builders that were there....what a mind blowing array of insane work! Speaking of insane......I realized what a screwed up bunch we are when I glanced across the room and saw Dr. Numbscull holding x-rays of plugs up against the window!!!  What a great form of insanity and I enjoy every minute of it with all of you! Big thanks go out to JohnR, MikeCC, Slipknot, PNG, ThrowingTimber, Swimmer and everyone else that worked so hard to make today a fantastic experience! 
Thanks Guys!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

A huge thank you to everyone for putting this on. Got to meet a put a lot of faces to names, and swapped a few plugs, all in all can't think of a much better way to spend a day.

I had a ball! Great to touch bases with you all. Some really really awesome work was shown today. I walk in and fluctuate between being inspired and being ready to give it up. But I'm nuts, so I'll just keep spinning. Thanks to all whose hard work makes this thing work. This has become one of my best days of the year, ThankYou !!

I only stayed for about an hours but my 7 year old son was in awe of all of the plugs. He watched one of the plug demos and I dont think he moved for 5 mins.
He wanted to buy some plug kits so I gave him 20$ and he bought a CCT popper and two salty's kits.
When we got home he was driving me nuts to put the kits together and paint them....i think he is hooked
Thanks s-b as we had a great time and I am glad I drove all the way down!
Here is a pix (bad quality) of my son watching the plug making demo

It was kinda scary but really cool watching you do that offset plug.
I got it on video. |

Sounds like a good one. Sorry I missed it. I for one would like to see if we can somehow schedule a little better next year so that we don't have two great events conflicting as we did with Plugfest and PISC Fundraiser today. Winter is too long to have to choose between those two.....

Thanks everyone who made this happen. All who setup , took down & cleaned up.
Thanks for everyones support.
I was thinking I made a mistake moving the event to the Lions club till Bigfish, MAC & myself drove down the club road to return the tables we used. The whole first 1/2 is mud. Glad you did not wash your truck MAC  
Special Thanks to Carver Lions Club for opening their doors to us on such short notice.

Top notch all the way
Thanks to all who made Plugfest happen! 
My first, but definitely not my last.
Special thanks to Numbskull for the proto-darter, Flaptail for talking flaps and Gibbs darters, Big Fish for being the sweetest giant ever, John R for running the plug contest, Salty for the goodies, and my CSA mates for easing the winter's stress with me.
Tight lines,

Seeing a few of the guys from Jersey was definitely a bonus.

Nice save Mike Thomas and all of plugfest crew .. You pulled it together on short notice. Some really scary talented people there . Great to see Jersey boys make the Trek . Great to get rid of Numbys valentine present .. Hope you didn't get pulled over with that thing in your car . Saw alot of fishing buds and Ditch Trolls there .. Everyone way too good to me .. How do you Hush Plugfest ? Have Larry yell "Free Plugs " .. the instant silence was funny as a bastagde .. Good seeing Mac talk plugs again ... Thanks PNG ..I'm might dump my lathe . Yo F-Mob ...
