Anyone open to the idea of hosting Savage Fest for 2016? Thinking about it or talking about it is free! Previous Fests have had a "volunteer host" in Zone 2 and Zone 3. And folks traveled from some of the other Zones to attend too. (I just made up the zones as a guide possibly being within driving distance.) I hosted Savage Fest 2014 in Zone 2 and not only was it a success, it was fun to pull together with help from others here at the 'Fire. Plus, I didn't have to travel. Might be nice to move it around some. Anybody thinking about hosting? Hmmm.....

Love the idea of Zone 1, but let's face it, most of you guys are back east, so it'd be too far to travel.

I could host a zone one. Salmon Idaho. Have it in early Sept. People could buy OTC cow elk tags and hunt with their new purchases.

Wouldn't that be a hoot?!
I could host one in western Maryland, but y'all would have to settle for squirrels with your .22's!

I am thinking...Savage Fest West....but perhaps better yet..Lever Fest West! We gotta have space on the tables for tube mags and hammers!

Levers with "tube mags and hammers." What's that?

Zone one would work for me but I doubt the east coast folks would travel that far. Even though I once traveled to NY for a Fest once they don't seem to want to reciprocate. I get that.

Well, I'm not so sure about that. Off hour air fare is pretty cheap. I think I might be able to do that. I have family on my Dad's side in Seattle I've never met. Although I've got family in Norway I've never met too, and I'm not rushing off to see them. Now if they have a couple 99's? It might take a little thought, bringing any guns might make it harder, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

The prospect of a western Savage Fest is interesting. To be honest, I would probably be less likely to attend (especially with a trunk full of 99s), but who knows? We have a significant number of members in that part of the country, and it seems only fair that they get their shot to attend one of these great events.

Perhaps a program whereby we Easterners who travel to Zone 4 who aren't comfy with transporting a bunch of guns would be gifted a table full of 99s so we don't feel left out?

That's perfectly reasonable. I'll give you John Angus1895's. So it's settled, we'll see you there.

Salmon, Idaho certainly works for me. Salmon isn't far from Yellowstone. You guys could bring the kids and/or grand kids and do Yellowstone too. My gun show and Summer visitor schedule is a little slack about then so I could probably come over and help put it together. David

I cast a vote for a "Fest of the West." Even if I have to travel back east to Idaho. That wouldn't be hard after all I used to live back east in New Mexico.
