Adam, assuming the weather holds out we will have 3 Midi Nova lathes set up that we'd love to have you demo on. No need to bring your own lathe unless you particularly want to use something more familiar.

Hank is closer to this than I am, but the opening is 9-5PM. We will have a heated tent to demo in. Things are kind of loosely organized at this point but we will be sure and make room for you and Melissa as you are always a popular draw for our group. Thank you for your support.
That would be great Adam!
Watch Friday, I am hopeful we will know enough about the weather and clean-up status to know what the plans are for Saturday.
Coleman is putting up a tent with heat for the demonstrations.
To Ken's eariler post - I have attempted to "heard the cats" but they are a lot faster than this old man! :icon_scra
We have commitments from some people and what they want to do
Following is the list of people that have told me or Dirk that they intend to be there and what they want to demonstrate.
(X) means I didn't see anything specific (please reply) and if you do not intend to do something specific, I hope you will jump in where you can AND be part of the "Fellowship" Committee (handing out NCWW cards and telling people what we are all about!
[T] by the name who were tentative
1. Hank
2. Dirk (Golfdad) (X)

Thanks Bill - everything seems to be in the clear this morning (at least as far as road conditions)

Sorry guys, but the trailer is stuck. We got 6 inches of snow here. Were without power all day. Just now came back. There's no way we'll get that trailer out of where it is parked. If enough snow melts then the problem is going to be mud. We've cancelled our hotel reservations and are just going to pass on this one.
You all can show up and see what equipment Coleman can let you use, but I think the trailer is grounded.
I was also unable to get the blanks finished with no power to run the lathe.

Adam, our lathes will NOT be there! Please feel free to bring yours.
So, this was not a joke?
We are not going to have our trailer there?
We will not have business cards tohand out?
We will not have our lathes, scroll saws for demo?
And none of the other tools that we would need to demo?
Does that sum it up?

Bruce,
I am only planning to come up Saturday morning so sorry, I will not be able to meet up for dinner...
Do you have a way to bring your scroll saw?
It looks like we are not going to have the Trailer there!
The snow is melted and there is no mud on the roadways. This has been planned for how long? Might as well just call the whole thing off, who wants to demo and make light sabres in a circus tent when it's 34 degrees out anyways.
It's no joke, so much for outreach...
O.K.
We got it!
Everything is back on as planned.
The trailer will be on its way to Fletcher by 1:00 this after noon.
I look forward to seeing everybody there!
Once again, in the face of adversity, the NCWW team pulls together and makes "stuff" happen!!!
