Just wondering if this is the year the event will be held. Never been to one and I thought I might like to go and bring some nice Savage Rifles and Shotguns.

Thanks for the reminder. Just found out that my new home is just 4+ hours from there.
I am going to go this year.

Reminder:Savage Fest 2018 is about a month out and shaping up to be a good one. I need to know who is coming and how many tables if any. Be sure to PM Rick99 or myself with names & number of attendees, number of tables, hotels or any other questions.For those already attending, now is good time to think about what you will bring to the show. 99's, .22's, shotguns, combo's, ammo, sights, accessories, catalogs, memorabilia? My advice is when in doubt, bring it!

Trying to decide whether to stay over or drive back to Minneapolis. Tentatively planning on Saturday night dinner between 4-6pm on site. It'll be a combination of wild game, potluck and plenty of fix'ins. We can surely scrape up a plate of food for you a bit earlier if you'd like to get on the road.

And if hanging with a bunch of swell guys (who eat well) with Savage Arms firearms, ammo, memorabilia and more wasn't enough. Everyone that checks in at the door gets this one-of-a-kind swag!

Things are shaping up for Savage Fest 2018 and everything is in place less a few minor details. We have folks that have volunteered for setup, bringing food items, cooking food items, bringing door prizes, providing security and of coarse bringing your prized Savage firearms, ammo, memorabilia and do-dads. Should be fun. If you have something to offer you can PM me and we'll work it out. Still time. Thanks for everyone's interest and for pitching in!

I'll be bringing a Lee Loader in 20 gauge to give away for a door prize. Possibly some other odds and ends too.

Just returned from the Fest. Had a great time, and got a chance to faces to some of our member's names. Incredible how much these guy know about all things Savage related. Beautiful guns indeed-not a grey rat in the room. These guys take great pride in the collections.

Darn, if I knew you wanted to see a bunch of old rats I would have tried harder to get there, that's all I have. Gary and I are heading out Friday morning for the PA Get Together. Hope we can share some stories when we get back.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.
