You'll probably make that up in free-bee's.

Besides, we always stock up on small items that the vendors have there. Even some large items - like banding, blades, parts, etc. Saves a ton on shipping costs.

Mary and I plan to be there.

I an't too familiar with Mizzry. What part of the state is this place in? I think I'm off on those days.

Just head east until you hit 55 and then go north a bit. The snow is in Cape Girardeau, Mo. between St. Louis and Memphis.

Here is more info.

Snow, Show, Kind of looks the same when you get my age. You young wiper-snapper!

I thought maybe you was trying to scare everybody off so you could get more of the freebees for yourself.

sure would like to go to this one, its not too far from where i grew up. got a pretty full slate for this month doubt i make it.

I made the one in St Charles the last time they had one there. I would have liked to have made this one, but thats an even longer drive. You should easily be able to wangle enough new blades out of the various exhibitors to make up the admittance cost. I can't remember for sure now, but I believe I got a half dozen from the St Charles show.

We plan on being there. Hopefully we get some snow. Ive been burning up lately. The only way i can stay cool is sitting in the Current River with a beer in my hand.

I wonder how the tour of the mills are. For $50 bucks i doubt i will be going on that tour. Sounds like fun though.

littlechub · « **Reply #12 on:** June 15, 2009, 07:39:15 pm »

whew, the ole current river, i still pucker up when i think back to the time i laid down in the spring branch at hunter landing.

semologger · « **Reply #13 on:** June 20, 2009, 04:25:42 pm »

June 27 is a day to remember for me. I almost died 17 years ago. Diving in the river and broke my neck. I pinched my spinal cord in 2 places and broke 3 vertabre. It wasnt current river though. I might have to miss the show and go swimming. Ive swam on that day every year since.

sounds like your lucky to be walkin and talkin, a buddy in highschool done the same thing jumping into the black river over between williamsville and piedmont.

Has anyone made motel room reservations yet?

Mary's been calling the motels on the list and they're pretty pricy - all over $100 to $120/night. The MWFS flyer says to mention the show to get a discount. They've never heard of the show and don't have a discount.

Hotel Information

I guess we'll try Motel 8 or Days Inn out a ways.

You can probably get a decent room for half that in Sikeston/Miner.
Drury/Pear Tree Super 8, Country Hearth. All at exit 67 on I55.
cape is a college town and has much more to offer than Sikeston so can probably get away with much higher rates.

Bibbyman · « **Reply #17 on:** June 23, 2009, 06:40:57 pm »

We'll be coming down I55. Sikeston is about 30 miles further down the road from the Cape.

We have staid in Jackson before and it was not bad. Its about 10 miles north of the Cape and a little off I55.

caver · « **Reply #18 on:** June 23, 2009, 09:38:54 pm »

I live in Sikeston, forgot to mention that.

Hey, this sounds like fun.... I've never attended one of these shows.... but I was told that I'd see everything to do with Sawmilling. I'm going to try to make it there.
