I like that idea, but maybe give the builder the option of donating the flaptail plug to a raffle and we raise funds for Steve's family.
I will make sure we have rolls of tickets for this and the door prize.
I'd also like to have a raffle of any other donations if that is feasible. I have stuff to put in and hope to have more come Feb. |

For the usual contest we have every plugfest, how about if we only have 2 categories? I think that would be enough. And for voting, maybe limit those also to keep it simple.

I would like to suggest if we could call the prize for the best plug the "Steve Shiraka award" in honor of Steve as he was such a plug aficionado.

PlugFest should always be PlugFest......but it will always miss Flaptail. Honor him with the Flaptail plug contest and name the "Best of Show" award after him! |

Bruce,
I totally agree on dedicating it to Flap. I think if you want to enter a plug into plugfest this year, there should be a mandatory flaptail made. And those flaptails will go into a flaptail category all by themselves. I also think that only entrants should be able to vote. |
Domination takes full concentration..

Took a look at the old threads and these are the categories we had last year. I bolded 3 I think need to be a part of plugfest. Though I do like having the several categories as it encourages people to build things that are out of the box. I think one way or the other a decision should be made on what categories are going to be included so people can get to building.
Best first year builder
Best representation/restoration of a classic
Best of show
Best hand carved
Wall Hanger
Most likely to catch a cow on its first cast
Novelty plug
