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

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.

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!

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.

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.

I agree. A Flea Market is a great idea and one I've thought about but PlugFest should be about PlugFest and a Flea Market is worth looking into for a different event...

The filming is up to you guys and perhaps filming can happen another time. Any objections if OTW were to have someone do an article?

Overall, we want to keep this pretty simple but fun, celebrate the work you guys do as builders, share and trade.

looking forward to this, because all of the work aside - Plugfest is one of the Highlights of the year

I did not bring up the OTW thing, I just want to make that clear. It's the food, boy oh boy do we eat well at PF.

What we really need is T-Shirts for the event.

PLUGFEST 08'

As far as prizes, just the awards certificates do it for me. Less stress for the organizers and no hard feelings. I am very proud of my two awards.

Looking forward to being humbled by all the stuff guys make that is brought together in one place. Ideas shared and new things learned plus the laughs and did I mention the food?

It's my number one must attend event of the year.
