I don't think so Chet. But, does your driver's license have a photo? They sometimes check licenses at the US customs.

I see one of the sponsors is Thomas Equipment. That's from right here in Centreville. I'm not sure if the head quarters is still here because China bought it from McCain Foods a year or so ago.

I've heard and read that passports are going to be needed in 2007, and have heard that a copy of the birth certificate was good to have along when coming back into the states now. The drivers license is used for a lot, such as boarding planes, but WI is one state that issues drivers licenses to anyone, without regard to citizenship. "cheapens" that document in a hurry, but WI thinks asking for more documentation will hurt their feelings.

I'd think the Expo would offer such information in their site that was cited.  But I didn't see it.  :)

I live 2 miles from a crossing here and all they ever ask for is a drivers license when going into Maine. They will be requiring a passport or a lesser costly form of ID by some time in 2007. Go and enjoy your expo. I don't know what's becoming of all this when you all are afraid of your own citizens coming home.  ::)

The point is, I believe, that they are 'our' citizens coming home.  :D

I'm tentatively planning on going if Chet goes. Our family cabin is only 45 minutes from the soo and we can stay there.

Don't see the info on their site.
Anyone know if there is an entrance fee and are we required to register in advance?
What about hours of operation?

I got the brochure on it last week.  It looks like the biggest event I will find with only a two hour drive. :)

That reminds me, I have to order some band blades from Wood-Mizer.
I wonder if LogRite will be there?  ;D

If Logrite is there, I would like to talk to them about manufacturing a rock tong. ;)

Maybe a giant sling shot like they made on PBS (in Scotland). Sorry, it's funny what someone writes sometimes spawns thoughts of past experiences. ;)

Chet and his Bro in law, Nailhead, pasbuild and I will be converging on the eastern U.P. this Thursday at the cabin and attending the show on Friday from there. If there are any members coming up that want to stop in send me an instant message!
