Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors CANCELLED -Wellsboro Pa. Savage Fest 2023 - June 23-25

Also if there's a bar at the end...

We usually ask for a volunteer to sleep overnight in whatever building the Fest is in. Just as on site security. Would that be possible here? If not, how secure is the building?

Good questions Rick. I will find out. Also I have a friend who resides in the area and he is trying to find other suitable options.

Manager there told me its totally secure at night. While Wellsboro is known for little crime, my initial concern is patrons of the "bar" becoming aware of our firearms being stored there overnight. Personally I think if they don't allow us to have one of our members stay there overnight, its a deal-breaker. I will also find out if there is an alarm system, which would possibly present another conflict if we have someone spend the night there. More to follow.

thanks for the update.

Anymore updates? Time is starting to get short.

Bob told me the other day he will be posting an update.

will be good to have some news,

You might try the Coudersport Consistory in Coudersport, PA. 45 miles west of Wellsboro on rte 6. The rental hall is huge with full kitchen. http://www.coudersportconsistory.com/ We hold Gun Bashes there every October.

Or the Galeton Moose Club in Galeton, PA. It is at least twice the size of Wellsboro Moose club. They rent out the upstairs for groups. 22 miles west of Wellsboro on rte 6

ETA: There is also a nice Fireman's Annex building in Mansfield, PA 12 miles east of Wellsboro where some of you plan to stay anyway. It is pretty big and has hosted the NRA banquets for years.

well that could be good news if the dates are available.



somebody screwed with my avatar

I have some very bad news. My sister has late stage liver disease and for the last 2 weeks I have admitted her into the hospital 3 times and then also driven her 3 hours away to a liver specialist. She is going back into the hospital tonight. I cannot be sure to be able to attend this at this point given my priority with my sister. That said, I can still run with the Mansfield and Galeton ideas, which are good ones btw, but it must be understood that I myself may need to not attend and someone else would need to take over.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Do we pull the plug for this year or do we schedule it and have another person take over if I can't make it.

Bob

really sorry to about your sister, prayers sent , i will go with the flow on this, looking forward to it happening , BUT will live with the results,

Norm

Sorry to hear about your sister. Family first.

It is looking a little iffy. Unless this Fest can do a big turn around for the positive I think Rory and I will vote to cancel for this year.

Sorry to hear Bob. I still have my hotel booked but just seeing what everyone else thinks. 🤞🏻

Bob, just saw your post. So sorry to hear about your sister. Prayers for her and you.

I think it's very unlikely I'll be able to make a Fest this year even if somebody does get it together. Family stuff..

Guess i will cancel my hotel. Doesnt seem to be any more interest. Hopefully there will be one next year. 😞.

Joe, so far, the plan is for Gary and I to go anyway, and do some fishing. Interested in joining us? There won't be any Savages present, but a few beers, some Irish whiskey and a fine cigar or two, might be.

My cancelling has nothing to do with lack of interest. It has to do with other things have come up in my life that's going to make June/July very, very busy.

I hear ya Rory. No one else chimed in to possibly help out and i know Bob is no position to go forward so thats why i said im going to cancel. With my Rendezvous right after this im in no position to take it on. If your not busy in August you can come to mine!!

I am really sorry guys. I work hard to do what I promise but this time it is beyond my control.
Bob

Family comes 1st, wishing best of luck for your sister!
