I only stayed for about an hours but my 7 year old son was in awe of all of the plugs. He watched one of the plug demos and I dont think he moved for 5 mins.

He wanted to buy some plug kits so I gave him 20$ and he bought a CCT popper and two salty's kits.

When we got home he was driving me nuts to put the kits together and paint them....i think he is hooked

Thanks s-b as we had a great time and I am glad I drove all the way down!

Sounds like a good one. Sorry I missed it. I for one would like to see if we can somehow schedule a little better next year so that we don't have two great events conflicting as we did with Plugfest and PISC Fundraiser today. Winter is too long to have to choose between those two.....

I had a great time. I'm not a builder but have wanted to try it recently. after seeing some of the awesome work that was there it really as got me to get motivated to actually giving it a try.
Thanks to the guys I got to get a few plugs from.

Thanks everyone who made this happen. All who setup , took down & cleaned up.
Thanks for everyones support.

I was thinking I made a mistake moving the event to the Lions club till Bigfish, MAC & myself drove down the club road to return the tables we used. The whole first 1/2 is mud. Glad you did not wash your truck MAC

Special Thanks to Carver Lions Club for opening their doors to us on such short notice.

We could have had a beachtruck mud race!!

Thank you for you and your family's effort to make this happen Mike.

Top notch all the way

Thanks to all who made Plugfest happen!

My first, but definitely not my last.

Special thanks to Numbskull for the proto-darter, Flaptail for talking flaps and Gibbs darters, Big Fish for being the sweetest giant ever, John R for running the plug contest, Salty for the goodies, and my CSA mates for easing the winter's stress with me.

Tight lines,

WoodyCT- aka Jon
