Dustin
Never been there.
What are they?

Looks like a big clothing store. They sell key jeans etc. Little bit of everything. Some logging clothing.

I've been looking for some work jeans and flannel shirts that acutally fit nice. Being 100% cotton,they seem to fit nice at the store but even drying them on low,seems to shrink them up. Than my long arms.

Haven't been able to find a good store that sells tall clothing around here.

Natalie wants to get up to WI before she starts school this month so it may be a road trip!

Depending on how things go on the home front between now and then Dad and I are planning to be there Friday

WIwoodworker · « **Reply #8 on:** August 18, 2008, 07:06:35 pm »

I'll be there. Not sure what day(s) yet. It would be nice to meet some more FF members.

I am planning to be there on Thursday PM and Friday. Not for sure yet, but a good chance I will be there.

anyone going to have FF hats for sale to reconize other members

Gary_C · « **Reply #12 on:** August 27, 2008, 10:57:39 pm »

Note to self: Don't forget to wear FF hat, but no, it's not for sale.

inspectorwoody · « **Reply #13 on:** September 01, 2008, 07:31:00 am »

Natalie and I will be leaving about 4am Friday,with a brief stop in Muscoda,WI to pick up a buddy and than we will be on our way!

Should put us there around 10, give or take.

I plan on Friday morning to head to the Peterson booth, to catch up with Burlkraft...plan to be there around 9.

Hope to see the rest of you then. Will have the FF hat on and the Wisconsin Chapter FF shirt on.

I will be there on Thursday with my Husky dealer/sawing customer. We usually go on Friday but he has other commitments on Fri. this year. I will wear my FF hat and shirt just in case other FF members are there.

Now that the summer is officially over your drive across Hwy. 2 should be faster than 40 mph

Made it to the Show yesterday, and met Stumpy, Burlkraft and Gary_C. Didn't find jackpine (lousy day on Thursday I heard), inspectorwoody (thought for sure we couldn't miss Natalie

), Corely5, and Sunfield Hardwood.

A few pics of Steve hard at work at the Peterson booth...sawing little sticks..

Watched a shaver operation (below) produce pine shavings that looked pretty efficient and straight-forward. The cyclone-type column had a blower in it to break up the longer shavings a bit. If the column were longer and had some heat, might even dry the shavings a bit.

Now, who would not know what this door was for?? But then, it was his second day from home.

Not quick enough with the camera to catch him walkin in that doorway..
