It was great to get to another 'Fest and meet some new people and see some old friends. It's always fun to learn a lot of new things too. There were some really neat Savages and related items there to see. Super job Rick.

Don ??? you mean after you get the Dozer running.... that's going to take quite awhile to drive to one on that, isn't it? even if it's a lot closer. Why would you need something with that much power, you plan to take everything from your vault???

Direct route from point A to point B.
Loggah, next year is in PA. Put it on the calendar (I know, have the wife do it) and start planning...no excuses! It's been too long. And bring The Dick.
Was a great weekend. Thanks to Rick, wife, those who came to look and learn and all who attended and FILLED the tables. I was in Savage overload. All the items you wish you could find but just don't see for sale anymore.

Thanks everybody! All presence, help, contributions and comradery is appreciated. It's the only way this could have happened. There were some amazing pieces and lots of them. Basically it was Savage Nirvana. Guys walking around smiling, drooling and otherwise just shaking their heads and the amount and quality of items. I'm pretty sure no one digested everything that was there except for the food. If anyone left hungry, it was their own fault. Looking forward to posted pics...

Having only attended one Fest I regret missing this one, for I know how invigorating it can be. Green with envy about all those who made this one. Kudos to Rick, from afar.

Even John Wright in his absence was greatly in presence with the 2 Ricks bringing some of his memorabilia to the fest. And some of us brought some home. THANKS John! Southern Wis Savage now has a very impressive pistol display! Hopefully pics will do it justice.

Sure hope to make the next Out West Fest. I promise to bring the biggest collections of rats you have ever seen!

Made it home about 7:30 last night and the Fest was well worth the drive there and back! Thanks for hosting another great get together Rick.
