The Northeastern Forest Products Equipment Expos or Loggers' Expos are the premier forest industry equipment trade shows in the Northeast. Currently rotating among three different locations in three states, the Expo alternates between Bangor, Maine and Hamburg, New York in odd years and Essex Junction Vermont in even years.

Each Loggers' Expo typically features between 175 and 225 exhibiting companies and they normally attract more than 6,000 attendees. The Loggers' Expo is the place where buyers and sellers of forest industry equipment, products and services can interact in a casual but productive environment. The Expo features a mix of live demonstrations, static displays, and booths – with plenty of inside and outdoor exhibits.

Normally we plan on meeting up at someone's booth, like Logrite or Woodmizer at a specific time of day. Then with our forestry forum hats on we get a group picture to post.

What time is good for you? 11 am alright?

[Peter Drouin]

Ann and I are going, Not sure what day yet  8)

[moosehunter]

I am hoping to be there Friday. 11 am @ the logrite booth works for me if I get to the show. A friend wants me to go with him to shop for a fire wood processor.

[moosehunter]

My buddy bought a processor from a local dealer. DanG it, I was hoping for a free ride to Vermont!

Is it me or is this event listed incorrectly in the calendar? It should be next week (9th & 10th) and not this week as listed; correct?

[GAB]

DeerMeadowFarm:
I got my ticket in the mail Monday 4/28.  The letter with the ticket says Friday, May 9,2014  9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, May 10, 2014 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
If you go no Friday see you at the W-M booth at 11:00 a.m.
You can attend the Annual Loggers' Banquet for $35.00 per person.  Call 315-369-3078 for your ticket to the banquet.

Hi Gerald,
I plan to go both days. Drive up on Friday; stay over and maybe hit it again on Saturday before heading home. The banquet is Friday night I assume?

I will be there on the 9th I am not sure what time I will be ther hoping to make in the am, depends on when we leave . 

[DeerMeadowFarm]

It's about a 4 hour ride for me; maybe a tad more with the trailer. I might not get there till noon depending on how early I can drop my daughter off at school.

[vtgreen]

Yea, I put it in the calendar wrong. Sorry about that, fixed now. Yes, the dates are the 9th and 10th.

[DeerMeadowFarm]

Well, I hope to see some of you guys there! I'll have my Forestry Forum hat on!

State of Vermont has their Surplus equipment auction on Sat May 10th in Berlin VT. The listing is on Auctions International under Live Auctions. Most of the state equipment is "tired" anyway. Enjoy the show all! Messed my calendar up with a Black Powder Shootout on the 17th in exchange for a Honey do list for the 10th.

Busy busy busy but Marcia are planning on it. 2 kids have their prom on Fri nite so we( more like Marcia) will be up late. We leave sat morning at 4 am. but will be more like 5 I'm shire. :D Will take 4 hrs to get their . we have to leave sat for home because one of the kids have a Marathon early sun morning and it's her first one so we want to be there. I'm really excited since it's been quite a few years and Marcia loves to get out of town. 8) I'm hoping to get a lot of key chains, hats, pens etc plus a lot to read. Also plan on picking up any supplies needed. Hoping weather works out and to see you all there.

[thecfarm]

Not many hats to be found, but I did not seriously talk to a vendor either.But I got about 3 t shirts and bunches of the key chains,pens,even a folding knife,DVDs If you like the reading part,you better bring a cart to wheel that stuff around.  ;)
Have a great time you all.

[Jim_Rogers]

One year when I was there, there was a hat guy there. He made me a very nice black hat with my sawmill name on it.
I still where it when I go out delivering lumber. I wore it yesterday, and I will again today.

Jim Rogers
PS. I hope he's there this year, I need another new hat for one I lost, (mis-placed).

[thecfarm]

Jim, Was that a free one?   That's what I thought he was looking for.

[Jim_Rogers]

No, not a free one.

The only guy I ever got a free hat from at the show was the Woodmizer blade guy. He said he's suppose to be selling them, but he normally doesn't. He just gives them away. But I don't know if he did last year or not. I didn't get a new one from him. I got a free blade to try.
