OK, from what I gather, here is my observations.
1. Next year we need 2 different catagories to judge by = One for serious actual fishable plugs that one would use in their plugbag. and Two- a novelty catagory for plugs that are dreamt up and brought to life by imagination and artistry whether they are handcarved or lathe turned, with crazy paintjobs or realistic ones. Anyone can enter a plug even in both catagories as long as they are present at the plugapalooza.
2. Then we need a long tub of water to test swim the creations in.
3. The prizes are forgone for simple bragging rights and a certificate, therefore there will be no entrance fee in order to submit a plug.
4. The winner from the past year has to organize the whole plugfest the next year
5. note to self not to eat Flaptails kelbassa next year as it might contain some kind of black squirrel creature meat
6. maybe more people can step up and help with the planning of the event and we can have it somewhere larger next year as it looks to have outgrown the club where it's been the past 3 years. I have someplace in mind already. I like the freeflow of the plugfest as people can mingle and talk plugs with others that have the same addiction. This year the tools didn't get used as the event has grown past that part of it I guess.
Carry on, I think I'm tired, long day today
