I just want to clarify something. There is absolutely nothing offensive about collecting un molested firearms. I am just a El cheapo bottom feeder That is definitely NOT how I would describe you.

I may qualify as a real collector although some of those guys in the East and Midwest have much nicer collections. I have a 30-30 SRC I need to collect a cow elk with so I'm definitely up for that. I'm completely redoing my display but here are pics of the 1895 and 1899 part of my display at the Ogden, Ut show in Jan. David
wyo1895 With Savage never say never. For a copy of my book on engraved Savage lever actions rifles send a check for $80 to; David Royal, p.o. box 1271, Pinedale, Wy., 82941. I will sign and inscribe the book for you. [email protected]

Rochester, NY is a better and closer airport. Lower fares. Elmira, NY is only 1 hour away, as is Williamsport, PA if you want to avoid any NY handgun issues. All that said, yes, you can fly to Ithica.

Thanks everybody! If you haven't already, be sure to go to the "official" Fest thread and chime in whether or not you/others can attend and whether or not you'll need tables. Preliminary head counts help with planning and will likely change, but it's a good starting point. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...agefest_East_2016_Date_(NEW#Post11047852

I have had all sorts of problems making a post here lately. Had to go to firefox, now it seems to be functioning.
Place is airconditioned!!!!!
Lots of tables.
Lots of food. I was told (this is my first Savagefest to attend much less host) to have "one big meal each day". I will do a bit more than that. Anyone who is hungry beyond that can walk 250' to the McDonalds in the back yard.
To find the place, just find the only McDonalds in Wellsboro. We are in their backyard. I will remove the chain from the driveway at 8am Friday morning, so anyone can drive in from there, or also from the street behind.
If anyone wants to help me do some cleanup on Sunday morning it will be much appreciated.
The place is fully furnished with refrigeration in the form of refrigeratiors, freezers, griddles, eating utensils, and all we could need.
If anyone wants to camp there with a camper or a tent, feel free. There is 120 elec to hook up to, just bring an extension cord.
If anyone needs me my cell is 585-739-2104.
Really looking forward to meeting you all.
Bob

Timeless Destinations, on Main Street is an excellent watering hole. Great bar, and some of the best thin-crust Pizza to be found. Hope to see some of the early arrivals there around dinner time tonight. My cell is 585-739-2104 if anyone needs me.
You will recognize me by my highly stylish red-ish moustache, and my Dad with his "walker" if we are there when you come by.
Really looking forward to this!
Bob

Thank you in advance for taking this on. It's a lot to do. My wife and I will see you tomorrow around zero dark thirty. Or between 8 and 9 AM with any luck.

Sorry Jake, this event was a couple months ago, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.
