$10 to get in will get you a ballot to vote for the plug contest and allow you to enter 2 plugs if you want to.
volunteers needed that day for a few things, thanks for helping.
Plug Contest-----------
2 categories-
1. a fishable plug made from some kind of wood meant to be casted or trolled in order to catch Striped bass or for a bluefish to commit hairy carrie with if your name is flap or clammer. Could also be a replica of a classic plug.
2. a novelty type plug - use your imagination and wow everyone. Does not have to be made with any wood if you choose. Put hooks on it though.
Plugs will be voted on by all present at plugfest.
here is an example of a ballot------------

You are allowed to keep your entered plugs after the contest is over if you choose. If you want to donate it/them to the site, it's up to you and you should let John know and give it to him.
I hope to have some equipment at the Hall for show and tell/ questions and answers type of thing.
If some of you can let me know if you have a tool to bring, it would be a huge help. Need = a mini lathe, small drill press, jigs for drill press for thru drilling operation, small belt sander?, dust collector? anything else you can think of. I can bring a few things like chisels, drill chuck for lathe, bits, hand drill, wire, some wood and sandpaper.
We have a speaker scheduled and that may happen in the morning around 10:00 or so.
I hope we can get a hold of a small round shallow kiddie pool so we can swim some plugs. I have a battery and a bildge pump to create a current/whirlpool, but we still need to find a pool.
The hall has room for about 70-90 people.
Thanks
any questions?
