Thanks Jeff! Yep, in the respective locations' time zones. It's very exciting. We're just running a handful this time around, but aim to make it an annual event. It's good for our owners too, cause they get to showcase their businesses/products.

Hey beenthere. Unfortunately Russ is unable to go ahead with the demonstration in Iowa this year, he's flat tack with work and has no free time that weekend.  :(

To follow will be another post with a list of locations, and links to register people's attendance  :)

Thanks for the update. It was going to be a good 5 hour trip, and just wanted to check it out.
No plans to purchase a mill now.

No worries :-) You're welcome any time. Hopefully there will be one a little closer to you next time. All visitors are welcome to our public demos.

Only a few days to go until our demo day (https://www.facebook.com/PetersonSawmills/events)! Our blades are nice and sharp, the yard is clear, we've got some sweet logs including the hardwood Jarrah and we're going to be videoing the whole thing!

We'll upload a highlights reel to our YouTube page (https://www.youtube.com/user/PetersonSawmills) in a couple of weeks so you can see how it all went.  :)

If you're able to make it to any of the demo locations, you certainly won't be sorry. And if you do, please take some photos and send them through to us: marketing@petersonsawmills.com.

Catch you on the flip side! Get it? Swing blade... flip... hmmm. hehe  8)
