April 2, 20188 yr Popular Post Aug. 25th. With 9 voting member that date won out by 2 votes. (Poll thread here). So now I hope you can clear time on your calendar to attend. To refresh the details: gathering will be at my shop in Wapakoneta OH (4 miles off I-75, or US 33 for the east-west travelers) Time will be roughly 10:00 AM to no later than 5:00 PM (have to start planning/fixing dinner for my disabled wife). I will have lunch/snacks/beverages for the attendees, and if those planning on getting here early want, I can also have donuts. Right now I'm thinking lunch will be fried chicken with some some dishes. This is primarily just a meet/greet/jawbone event though Steven Neuman has offered to demonstrate using a Stanley 45, and John Morris will try to get some door prizes from TPW sponsers. If anyone else has a a technique/tool/whatever they would like to demonstrate, that would be a welcome addition. I'd like to see as many as possible attend, though if all 2000 members show up I may have to move the meeting to a nearby state park , might also have to put out a collection jar to pay for lunch.

Street address (although I'm sure I'll be asked again closer to the date) is: 17676 Wapakoneta Fisher RD, Wapak's zip is 45895 (if you search it that way). There will be more posts on this closer to the date to start trying to ascertain how many so I can buy the food and stuff. As Neuman would say: stay tuned! Edited April 2, 20188 yr by Fred W.

We'll be at all your front doors the day before the big event, to give ya'll a lift and take you to Fred's place! Make your flight reservations now because my company jet gets crowded quickly, may have to take a few trips to get you all there! Flight meals not provided, bring your own.
April 2, 20188 yr Darn. Can't make it. Just found out my bro. In WY has set that weekend for our family get together.

April 2, 20188 yr I’m gonna have to wait until closer to the date to be able to make a decision, but I’d like to, and so far there is no reason that absolutely rules it out.

Going out this am and half the neighbors lawns are mostly underwater. A brief break possible today (have not seen it yet), but another frog-drowner due this evening.
