Jeff, I would do my best to be there, although it’s kind of far for me. Gotta be at least 1.5 hour drive....😁
For folks wanting to fly, Green Bay is about 1.5 hour drive, Appleton is 20 minutes further. Milwaukee is probably 3 hours. Anyone coming from the East by car would avoid Illinois by coming up through lower Michigan.
I could easily be convinced to pick some of you up in Green Bay and haul you up there. I have room at my house if you’re coming in a day early...

You can also fly right into Escanaba via Delta Airlines. The Airport code is ESC.

You can recognize the planes that fly into the UP, their power plants are two to four UP mosquitos!

Seems like there is enough interest for me to start an exploratory committee. First thing is to find a place. I am thinking the VFW or the State Fair grounds. I know a few County sheriffs that can moonlight for night security duty. More to follow.
My home is big and can serve as a drop off location if someone wants to hit the Bay for walleye or the Whitefish River for brookies.

If everything works out, I'm sure Savage Fest 2020 will be a fine show. Thanks for the effort Jeff! Escanaba area is some pretty country land or sea. Also of importance, some of us like to eat.  Dobbers Pastie, Hereford and Hops and the Swedish Pantry are at the top of my list...

I'm really looking forward to this. If this all works out, and depending on when we do it, I might bring my boat and would like to offer up some fishing time to anyone interested in going out. We can seat four comfortably. Or maybe a charter run for fish on the big lake would be better. I'm willing to help in any way I possibly can. We'd be doing this as a vacation and plan on coming for a full week. Those who've never explored the U.P., and the Escanaba area in particular are in for a real treat, and I strongly recommend staying a few days if life and work permits.
