Tom and I just were talking about this on the phone!!!!!!!!!! 
I'll be giving free classes all day Friday and Saturday and I expect to see lots of NCwwers there in the audience.  Seriously, it is going ot be a great show. I'm sure it will be the biggest and best so far. I haven't finalized my schedule for show yet, but I'll post my demonstration/class schedule for you guys when I have it finalized.
I won't be able to host the gathering this year since I will be demonstrating and be pretty busy during the shop. I'm all for heading to Frigator's shop or a local park that is close to the show. Heck maybe we can use one of the conference rooms at the show for the gathering. I can talk to Klingspor's about it. They rent the entire place for the show.
Thanks,
John

Not sure if I'll really be able to go, but I've penciled it into the calendar. If I can go, I'd only be able to do a day trip on Friday.
Since I have't been to this one, can I get some details of what the show has to offer?

I'd really like to go but the last time I attended a show with you guys was Charlotte and LOML came along to keep me in tow.
I made the mistake of stopping by John's shop en route and that BRIEF encounter with John led to acute Woodguy's disease...ended up buying an MM16, and a bunch of other ...ummmm...INVESTMENTS!! 
(We had a great time )
Guess I need to start buttering her up NOW!

DL-maybe we can get your boss interested in scroll sawing this time. And as I recall, Chuck you made out pretty well. Bring your boss too!

hehehe... yea it's time to start making the "pitch" to the CFO!
Ray - what does the show have to offer? Click here to see Klingspor's "highlights" from a few years back. It is a woodworking trade show directed more toward the hobbyist/professional rather than industrial like the recent Atlanta show. It is not usually quite as big as the Charlotte show, if you have seen that one (of course, there will be no Charlotte show this year!  ). There are lots of exhibits, demos, and also usually plenty of opportunities to attend some free instructional seminars (like the one Woodguy did last year). There are usually some "show prices" on tools and equipment, but the real benefit IMHO is the opportunity to get hands-on exposure to some machinery etc that you probably don't usually see in the store showrooms.
But of course the main reason to come is the NC Woodworkers gathering! | |

Gonna try and make this one. Haven't been to a show yet so maybe everything will work out. Might have to be a day trip though.

Is the show mostly manufacturers showing their products? Are the demos and free seminars general information or geared to specific products such as how to use XYZ Inc's One Step(tm) Cutting, Joining, Finishing Tool?
How appropriate is it to bring a 1.5 year old to? That may be a requirement to get clearance to go depending on LOML's schedule.
Thanks!
