Please note the show format has changed from previous years the show will not be open on Thursday. I will be arriving on Thursday to attend the Hospitality hour as it is right on the site this year.

This year it is back at the UP State Fairgrounds in Escanaba and the format has changed a little.

Thur:Sept. 6, 2007 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM Presidents Hospitality Hour at the Fairgrounds registration is $10.
Fri: Sept. 7, 2007 Exhibits open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Sat: Sept 8, 2007 Exhibits open8:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Admission is $10 and covers both days.

Hope to see some of you there. I will be camping on the grounds next to the exhibit field, mention you are part of the Forestry Forum and they may be able to put us in one area.

Here is a link to their site:

ADAMINMO · « **Reply #11 on:** August 24, 2007, 10:08:44 am »

Burlkraft,

Since you are going over to the atv ride and will see Jeff would you mind swinging by the Baker Products tent and getting a couple blocks for Jeffs porch and delivering them to him for me?I sure would appreciate it.
ADAMINMO

Burlkraft · « **Reply #12 on:** August 24, 2007, 01:21:28 pm »

I've already been assigned that duty.......

We'll see ya on Friday.....

ADAMINMO · « **Reply #13 on:** August 24, 2007, 02:03:47 pm »

Looking forward to it.Thanks

Looking forward to seeing FF'rs at the Lake States show.

Anyone suggest a place/time to meet on Friday (and/or Sat.) to shake hands and chat?

Because this is AdaminMO 's thread, I'd suggest the Baker tent/booth at 11:00 am Friday.

Others can inquire of AdaminMO or Tom_in_MO of our whereabouts and any other ~~watering hole~~ meeting location we might plan.

Haven't heard if the Forestry Forum truck is (or isn't) going to make it to the show (just a rumor). Will miss it and the Boss if they is a no-show...

.

Will be lookin for the FF hats. Hope we don't wish for FF umbrellas...

Baker Exhibit at 11 AM it is

beenthere · « **Reply #19 on:** September 06, 2007, 09:48:03 pm »

Burlkraft and I checked in to the Congress' hospitable reception tonight, and ran into Dewwood and Ron Scott. Ron had some pretty good luck with the drawing, and will post some pics of his winnings. Burlkraft, who just finished saying he "never wins anything" had his number drawn and was a lucky winner.

Look forward to seeing more of you tomorrow, and it looks like a very good show.

beenthere · « **Reply #20 on:** September 07, 2007, 09:09:58 pm »

Time to post a few pics of the show.

Met by rain this morning when we first arrived.

Then found ff member Peach in the Menominee Saw booth, and he is a knowledgable man alright.

Then headed for the Baker tent to get out of the rain and see Tom_in_MO and AdaminMO, and found Dewwood and Shotgun.

Turned around to find Shotgun (again), Corley5's Dad, Corely5 and Burlkraft (Zach couldn't come, as he had to be in school

)

Next door was the Woodmizer exhibit, shown here waiting for some visitors.

As well, as the Baker exhibit seen the day before the show started.

We searched the grounds to find Pasbuild and Nailhead, and by-golly we found them standin right there...with Nailhead's neighbor Frank.

I need to pass on that one of our FF members can be considered the one to set close to when there is a drawing.
Here is Ron Scott with his claim on the first win.

A carved eagle....very nice..

Then, within minutes Ron was back up front bringing another prize back....a pool toy.

Then, again and almost as quick, Ron was back up to collect a Deere prize (green things and may have been a shirt and cap).

Ron needed some help to get all this back to his campground.

All this time, Burlkraft is crying that he NEVER wins anything.....HA! .... he put claim to a nice gift certificate....

ADAMINMO · « **Reply #22 on:** September 11, 2007, 09:14:54 am »

The show turned out pretty good.Rain most of the day Friday but Saturday was great.I met several FF members at the show.I got some pretty good pics to post as soon as I remember to bring them in to download them.I will say that if you had a tent at the show you were very popular at times.

Burlkraft · « **Reply #23 on:** September 11, 2007, 08:48:48 pm »

Adam....I guess we forgot to stop back and pick up them blocks..... $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$

We remembered at about Green Bay.....

ADAMINMO · « **Reply #24 on:** September 12, 2007, 09:03:10 am »

No problem ... I'll get them in the mail sometime this week or next.

It was really neat meeting the gang at the Logging Congress last week. Thanks to Adam and Tom for having the tent there, and yup, it did get a little crowded at times, given the weather. I've never met any sawmill thieves before.

Guess there's a first time for everything. They looked pretty harmless to me though. Thanks Baker, for sponsoring, and for tents.

Boy, those guys from Wisconsin looked pretty spiffy in their F.F. Wisconsin Chapter shirts.

Guess we'll have to work on getting da Boss there next year.

We are pretty harmless.It was nice to meet all the FF members that were there.I was glad we had a tent as well.
