Greetins from the Ozarks,

Well I have been very busy for the last couple of weeks in preparing for our 9th OWAMMO's Gathering that was held in Hollister / Branson last weekend and I am pleased to report we had an excellent turn out and people from: California, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Iowa, and perhaps others that I am missing. There was a lot of trading, transferring machines to people who couldn't attend and that others were hauling to them as they go home, several excellent demonstrations, all of us ate waaaay to much as the food was excellent, and the list goes on. 

 

After the event on Friday and Saturday several people followed me back to Carthage to my shed and we re-grouped and went to Chicken Annie's which has become a tradition ......ate some dead chicken that was yummy......they on tour to Dan Mangile's shop ............and then on to Wendell Lewis' shop.

 

Craig Schultz is from Tuscon, AZ and he has attended all 9 of the OWAMMO's Gatherings and usually spends a week and he will be leaving tomorrow, but we are still havin fun in my shed workin on old machinery.

 

We will post pictures later .................

 

Thanks to all who attended and we are already talking about or 10th OWAMMO's Gathering that we will have this fall and I hope that a bunch of you from this forum can attend.

 

Thanks ~ Dan  

Sounds like it was a great time by all. I am going to have to try to work this into my schedule.

 

I look forward to the pictures....

Here are some of the pictures I took. Had a great time, can't wait till the next one!

I bought some things, sold some things, & picked up machines for myself & others. Met new friends, saw old ones, & ate lots of good food.Saw some good demos.

 

Looks like everyone had a grand time. The planer is a thing of beauty. Who got the molder?

Wonderful Dan! Thanks for reporting back in and great pictures Jeff.

Sounds like it was just great time, good people and good food, it's doesn't get much better then that, I sure hope some day I can make it out. I need to start filling my shop up with the old stuff, I do love it. Thanks again Dan for reporting in.
