Last year was my first. I didn't know what to expect. Plugfest exceeded my wildest expectations. I can't wait for this year.

OK, we're all set for that date.
we'll have the hall from 8 to 3:30

I have a question for everyone.
The Eagles can have hamburgers ,cheeseburgers and hot dogs available in the kitchen cheap to go along with any food items we bring.We have to pay for use of the kitchen anyway. I think it's a great idea so all the responsiblity won't be on just a few helpers to get food ready and not everyone will have to bring food, just show up. We can still warm up dishes and bring desserts and drinks.

Sound good?

Very good. A coupla guys spent PlugFest warming and cooking chow and missed a lot last year.

I would like to attend this year and bring some plugs. I will be solo, My wife would rather have her eye lids tattooed than hang out with more people like me all day long.

the site here does not condone black market, back door deals selling plugs. It is an event for trading plugs and methods and a place to learn buy supplies etc.
I am not in charge of security, we'll appoint that job to salty

There's a big difference between security and and selling plugs out of your trunk.

Told my dad about it today. I plan on bringing him to see the quality of everybody's work (and show off his). I know he is looking forward to seeing BigFish again.

Hope you have a category for 90 year old plug builders. He is currently working on some flaptails (thanks for the great schematics on the flaptail thread). His Darters are killer as are his needles and stubby needles (see him and one of his plugs with one of my bass on the "own wood" thread).

Going to sign him up on Striped-Bass.com next time I visit him so he can follow the thread as well.

Looking forward to our first Plugfest!

Bruce, i'd like to go if it's not too late. I'll bring some beverages, and perhaps my son. If you need help with anything, let me know.
