Thoughts on another Plugfest

Do you guys want to have another Plugfest this winter?
Maybe in Feb. again?
Any suggestions, help or advice is appreciated.
I thought it was great last year as we get more and more new people to join in and get to see in person what they make.
The trading plugs part is fun, maybe this time I will have more time for that before the plugs disappear.
Do you want to do another contest plug?
any suggestions for entertainment?
Should we just have it at the same place again?

speak up

I've been to the last two. One of the best fishing events I attend each year! Great to see what other people are building and to talk plugs. I am not booking anything this winter till I find out what day plugfest is.

I have one suggestion that some others have also brought up in the past. Would name tags be something we could do. Something as simple as a white address label with your S-B or regular name written on it would suffice. I'd be willing to supply them if needed. I never end up meeting everyone I would like to, and thought name tags would simplify things.

VB, maybe we can have it on the bye weekend and we can celebrate our Patriots 16 and O and have a pre - playoffs party

OTW thoughts, don't laugh. I thought maybe we could get them there with a camera and someone to write a nice article about our little plugfest, it might be good for the forum and for the site too. We won't have any about filming and free stuff this year please, maybe some other time, unless they want to film it and the plugs.

Name tags is a great idea

Striperknight, it will be easier to move CT to Mass

OK, we'll do it
and the contest too.
Victor, you can organize the contest and work with John and I about the prizes maybe.

I guess having this thing during skiing season it will make it tough for LIfishinVT to mae it, but if you read this John, we'd love for you to be able to head down for it.

January 5th maybe
or February 9th
