OK, we will once again need a few good men or women for some tasks to get through plugfest.

Volunteers are needed for several tasks -

admission ticket seller at the door (If I have to I will do this but it would be nice if maybe a couple people take turns).

Someone to organize the food and get it ready for lunch.

someone to keep track of contest plugs, hand out ballots etc.

someone to sell raffle tickets

Ballot counters

entertainment,demonstrations etc.

clean up

any other things that need to be done
make up ballots and print them out
and any other things you can think of

thanks

Rockfish9 · 11-20-2009, 12:04 PM

Anyway I can help let me know...

BigFish · 11-20-2009, 01:51 PM

I am already in Bruce!

Swimmer · 11-20-2009, 03:34 PM

Bruce I'll do the ballots. I have been helping JR the last couple of years with that.

JohnnyD · 11-20-2009, 07:10 PM

Have you guys settled on a date yet? If the date works for me, I can donate a PA system to the cause and to play a little music through while people mull around. It'll be my first Plugfest.

ProfessorM · 11-21-2009, 08:05 AM

Geez Eddie you do get up early for work. I had 2 beers with VB last nite after the wake and I can't get out of bed. I am such a fly weight now.
I too will stay after and do the Carol Burnett sweep up thing and pretty much anything else you need Slip, within reason.

I'm not babysitting the mental Ho master if he shows up.. Just ask.

eastendlu · 11-21-2009, 11:22 AM

I will also be glad to help out Slip i can hold your plugs for you if you want.

Seriously though what ever i can do to help just let me know.

Slipknot · 11-21-2009, 08:10 PM

thanks guys
One of the ideas I had was to have several displays of plugs around the hall of past plug builders, guys like George Carlezone (2na can help with these I hope), Danny Pichney, Bob Pond, Stan Gibbs, Habs, Gary2 and a few others. Maybe VB you can help out with this and maybe we could even get AdamR up this time, I know he has many plugs.

more suggestions are welcome

BigFish · 11-21-2009, 09:03 PM

Thats a great idea Bruce!

ecduzitgood · 11-21-2009, 09:17 PM

I'll print up the ballots and make the tags cause it doesn't require me to remember/recognize everyone from last year's event by name. (my memory isn't that good, sorry in advance

). And will gladly lend a hand where needed.

piemma · 11-22-2009, 03:00 PM

Slip:
Count me in. Whatever you need done, I will help.

When the hell is the event????

Backbeach Jake · 11-22-2009, 03:15 PM

I'm in. I respond to pointing and shouting....

Rockfish9 · 11-22-2009, 06:01 PM

I'll put together a display of differant methods of rigging hooks to plugs, ... methods like pinning, external wiring ,bicycle spoke wiring , epoxy hole hook hangers etc...

nightfighter · 11-22-2009, 06:19 PM

Yup. Shift at the door, clean up. Whatever.
Make a sticky on date and place when you have it, please.
The doctor going to be doing an AYC order again?
What do people want to see for demonstrations? Some of my favorites from the past have been offset turning, darters, and marbelizing. My wishlist would include seeing PNG on the Roman Nike, Capesams turning anything from the old school, and seeing an assortment of jigs people have made (to help with through drilling, etc.)
Anyway to put organize purchases of the specialty drill bits that we all seem to need?

I tried that drill bit order thing one year, I can't seem to get that nailed down myself much like a clearcoat

thanks Ross, we'll fit you in someplace

How about Leo Cooper's plugs (goo goos)? I have lots of those. I have brought those and some others (atoms, gibbs, bluestreak and a whole bunch of unidentified) in cases before to past plugfests. Anybody tired of seeing those yet?

I can mix it up some. I've got a whole mess of plugs that don't fit in my displays and usually stay at home. I really need to get a truck...I can only fit so much into my car.

Let's definately have name tags again. I brought some to 08 and might be able to do it again.

Slipknot · 11-23-2009, 09:07 PM

perfect Eric
thanks

The Dad Fisherman · 11-24-2009, 09:18 AM

If the date works I'm more than happy to help....

I never get tired of your display.. the goo goo eye is my all time favorite pug...

OK we're gonna need to nail down the wording for the voting.
Maybe we should begin a new thread to discuss this or add it to the plugfest contest plugs thread.

In any case if you can have the ballots done way before plugfest so I can have them at the start of the day, I'd appreciate that greatly, nametags also. this way I can pass them out in the AM

I am not far from Easton and can meet up with you at some point or something before plugfest.

Thanks again

smac · 12-09-2009, 07:40 PM

Slip,
Has the date been picked? Feb 13 or 20th?

If my smoker isn't burried in snow, I'll bring about 12 pounds of pulled pork and some rolls.

good2hook · 12-09-2009, 08:07 PM

Bruce i'll help in anyway i can. from working the door to cleaning up afterward. You name it, i can also have the wife make up some grub. Looking forward to all the jigs that people will have to make drilling a little easier.

Larry i'd like to volunteer up front as your painting assistant
