customsawyer · May 08, 2005, 10:12:12 AM

I was thinking about going up to this show was wondering if any other grit eatters were going to go to this shoot out.

Fla._Deadheader · May 08, 2005, 12:08:05 PM

Where's Rentz Ga.??? What's it located near?? I may hafta attend this shindig. Probably be knee-deep in Espanol by the time the Piggy Roast rolls around. ;) ;D ;D

Any Fla. boys thinkin bout goin to Ho Hi Ho ??

DanG · May 08, 2005, 12:12:24 PM

I don't know if I can get away, but I'd love to go. I'd have to car-pool with someone, though. :

Fla._Deadheader · May 08, 2005, 12:15:00 PM

Definitely no problem with the Dordge Bros. Truck. ;) ;D ;D Seats 5 8)

neslrite · May 08, 2005, 02:40:11 PM

WOW! To meet FDH and DanG in Ohio, now that would be quite the treat 8)

I might have to talk Tammy into making more brownies ;D

Pete J · May 08, 2005, 03:24:36 PM

The FLA boys are coming? DanG, now where did I put that calendar? Looks like I'll have to make some arrangements. I can picture it now! Except the grits part!

oakiemac · May 08, 2005, 04:29:48 PM

Furby, Paschel, Hawby, anyother southern michigander going to go just for Friday? If so I would like to care pool. I have to be back saturday morning but I plan on spending all day Friday at the show.

Furby · May 08, 2005, 05:46:16 PM

Sorry Oakie, if I were to make it, it would be for Sat.
Still way too early to know.

maple flats · May 08, 2005, 06:11:57 PM

When I mentioned Sawlex to my wife she said "sounds good, where will we stay". Sounds like I'm 1 step closer to going. Will put in tomorrow for that Friday off. If I get it I would leave mid morning and it looks like 7-8 hrs drive counting rest/dinner. I would then be there Sat. Does anyone know what other attractions are in the general vacinity of Youngstown? A small list with very brief comment on any would be great. I would take Joan to something in addition to Sawlex. She only has interest to the extent that she likes to know what I like.

dewwood · May 08, 2005, 07:12:04 PM

I was told the show site is next door to a large shopping complex if the wife is so inclined.

maple flats · May 08, 2005, 07:45:59 PM

Thanks, but she is not the type to spend hours shopping, thank goodness. Looking more for tourist attractions to go along with the trip. When I studied the seminar schedules I see that I would most like to go to seminar 101 (maximizing profits) which is 11:15 Friday. Guess I'm looking for 2 days off so I can attend that one and would need to register 2 because Joan would not want to sight see while I went to learn for 90 minutes. 8)

hawby · May 08, 2005, 08:00:55 PM

Sorry Oakie.... the wife and I have a babysitter planned 8) and we're going for the WHOLE weekend ;D Hopin' to find something to spend monry on while I am there too 8)

Furby · May 08, 2005, 10:29:55 PM

If ya need help spending them $$$ Hawby............just say so! ;D

Paschale · May 08, 2005, 11:04:24 PM

Not sure if I'm gonna make it, Oakie, though I'm still thinking about it. I know I could only get away for one day or so. I'm still seeing if I can make it work.

Ga_Boy · May 09, 2005, 07:15:03 AM

DanG, Harold and CustomSawyer,

I'm a go'n and look forward to meeting y'all other southern boyz.

For me it look like a 6 hour dirve, I ain't sure if I will get up real early Friday morning or leave Thursday afternoon. Depends on what I can find for a place to stay.

Anybody from Southern Maryland want to drive up with me? It would be nice to have some riden shotgun when we get North of the Masson-Dixon.

OneWithWood · May 09, 2005, 09:32:51 AM

Nice piece of real estate there Captain. good job 8)

I hope to see many forum members there, especially those that won't make it to the piggy roast.

Mrs._Stump_Jumper · May 09, 2005, 09:53:59 AM

The Stump Jumpers will be staying at the Chestnut Ridge Campground reservations are already made and we will be there both days. 8) 8)

WV_hillbilly · May 09, 2005, 06:56:58 PM

TN_man · May 10, 2005, 04:53:23 AM

I faxed my registration in yesterday. I already am scheduled for that week off. My wife is not looking forward to having to do all the farm chores but she is glad that I get to go and have some fun. I, too, plan on attending several of the seminars. See ya'll there. 8)

maple flats · May 10, 2005, 09:25:57 PM

looks like I will be there solo, my wife can't get the time off.I will fax in my reservation for tickets and seminars tonight or tomorrow. For hotels I see that Comfort inn, Warren is rather cheap and says it is 6 miles away. Does anyone know whether this is ok or should I try a different one. I will be in a room alone unless one of you want to share expenses. Please let me know, I will make those reservations in a day or two.

Jeff · May 10, 2005, 10:09:35 PM

oops! WIsh I would have know about da tables. Had to get in by da show deadline. Kirk, we will have 3 tables there and a dozen chairs provided by the show, so you wont have to haul any.

gmmills · May 10, 2005, 10:26:46 PM

maple flats ,

Comfort Inn, Warren is right on court house square in downtown Warren. Not sure about the rooms haven't been in one of them in 17 yrs. Sorry not much help there. It is not hard to get to the Expo Center from Downtown Warren.

I am planning on being there for both days. Really looking forward to it. It's the first show that I haven't had to drive for a few hours to attend. 8) 8) 8)

Jeff B and Captain , Let me know if you need help setting up when you all get in town. I live only 10 mins from the Expo Center. 8) 8) 8)
