Plugfest 2009 Planing & Discussion
Getting some talk going now and looking for ideas:
1) When: Saturday February 7? Maybe 21st (though that may be TFCTFN)
2) Where: Possibly Mitchell Club of previous years or Carver Sportsman's of last year (I need to work logistics with Mitchel Club or MikeCC)
3) Plans & Entertainment. I had some great suggestions as far as organizing the show better 
4) Contests: Along the lines of last year? Mix it up? The categories and awards of the past couple years have worked well (some of you - I'm not anywhere near talented enough - need to knock that smirk off Canalman's face  ).
5) Other suggestions? |

have both plugfest and TFCTFN the same day/night at the same place  or is that too much for one date
I better start a contest plug soon I guess |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

If you have a date planned for TFCTFN then I'd suggest that you call the hall ASAP before it gets booked up. Just remember I told you so. |

That explains your truck last year
OK - so possibly Mitchell Club - any other suggestions?

Keep the ideas coming - thanks! |

Personally, I think the Carver club is worth the risk. Space and light make a nicer experience for all involved. The Mitchell club seems small. The Armory in Buzzards Bay might be another option (my kids' teams/club used to rent it for soccer practice), not sure of details or cost (I think you have to pay a janitor to be there).

I agree the carver club setting was great and worth the risk.If i recall last years was a full house and this seems to be getting bigger every year. |

The only problem with the risk is that some people have a long drive, and it would suck to come up and have it canceled because it was muddy. |

As long as it's getting complicated
Most likely to catch a plug collector
Most likely to catch a fisherman
Most likely to catch a fish

We would find somewhere if that happened. Lots of bars around.

That will mean I'll have to clean the house though. Sure I don't care, although my house isn't that large. It would fit all the out of staters though. Your welcome any time

Has a date and location been finalized? I'm thinking of traveling up from Long Island, depending on the date.

I really think we need to have name tags so we tell who is who. I know we have done it in the past and need to do it again I think. I'd like to know who the hell I am talking at.

As far as the contests, keep them the way they are,if there is no quality to judge yourself by, how can you draw a perspective...It's not about winning, it's about a display of what can be... I've already finished my contest plugs... Hopefully the categories dont change.
As far as the venue... I'll travel as far a needed, IMHO, this is THE higlight of the winter....

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Don't know what I'll have for the fest, but I'll bring what wood I can get. Usually AWC and some Cypress. THIS TIME it will be a ONE STOP ONLY...I'll have some one announce when I'm goin' to my truck...no orders...first-come, first-serve...I do not know as of now what I'll have for wood...watever my friend brings from the mill I'll bring...been tough to get wood lately...will have an announcement on AYC when he finds out...seems like he has a $1600.00 load of AYC logs sitting in Oregon...no clue as to when he can afford to get them to RI and then to me or what he can cut out of them.
