Lake States Logging Show .... Whos gonna be there?

[beenthere]

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....

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.

Adam....I guess we forgot to stop back and pick up them blocks.....

We remembered at about Green Bay.....

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.
