Hi All, Rick just reminded me of the Fest this year and as it may I just might also be able to go. I will be in Chicago at the IMTS show on Thursday and was planning to visit Tormach in Waunakee on Friday. I guess I could just stay over another night and see you fine folks on Saturday. Never miss an opportunity to look at some nice long arms.
By the way if you are there on Friday stop by Tormach, you can also visit there website. These are the CNC mills I use in my company making camera mounting plates. Sweet machines with the worlds absolute best customer service and support department on earth...hands down!

Hope to see you again - glad you were reminded.
Good to hear an endorsement for a U.S. manufacturer that actually builds something of value!

Saw Denny Jackson at the KC show. Said he would take two tables.
Also, Jim Koch said he might stop in on Saturday.

I saw John Allen at our gun show today. He likely will not be at fest as before he heard 2014 dates he made commitment to attend a gun show in central Wisconsin. I strongly encouraged him to attend but it didn't sound good???

That's too bad John won't be there. I was hoping he'd bring his 99DE's. He and I have talked about the variations in engraving on them. If anyone can bring a 99PE with the Eastern deciduous engraving I'd like to include photos of it in my book. David

A: Tables are virtually unlimited and are included with the facility. We can setup as many as we like on Friday and add if necessary. An annual Spring Show here covers the entire gym floor so space/tables is not an issue.

A fall Fest and pig hunt someday would be attractive to more than a few of us, I think. Just need somebody to host it. Brad, do your best to show up even if you can't bring anything. Having folks show up and ask questions ends up starting some awesome discussions where I learn things I never would have thought to ask about. The more the merrier!

The Campfire Hog Hunt in March is usually a great time with good eats, great guys and tolerable hunting. I think one or two 99's have attended, as well. Tennessee is fairly central, too

Update: We were able to increase Savage Fest hours Friday to 12-noon to 11pm. That should allow time for setup and maximize Friday night. Then, it is 8am to 11pm Saturday! And, 8-10am Sunday for tear down/clean up.
I'll plan to host a mixer/dinner social event Thursday evening for early arrivals. PM me and we'll line it up.

Steve, I think a few cases of water/soda would be enough. I'll provide some coolers with ice. There will also be coffee, snacks and more. We ain't gonna go hungry. Door prizes add to fun too. Thanks for pitching in! Rick
