Thoughts on another Plugfest

Do you guys want to have another Plugfest this winter?
Maybe in Feb. again?
Any suggestions, help or advice is appreciated.
I thought it was great last year as we get more and more new people to join in and get to see in person what they make.
The trading plugs part is fun, maybe this time I will have more time for that before the plugs disappear.
Do you want to do another contest plug?
any suggestions for entertainment?
Should we just have it at the same place again?

speak up

OOPS not Feb 9th
I just saw the Saltwater Edge show is that day so I don't want a conflict in the schedule.

How does Jan 5th or Feb 16th sound?

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

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

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.

Link for the club with directions below

http://www.carversportsmen.com/


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 , 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.

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.

Why even try.........
