y wife and I just decided on the date when we'll host our second annual "Gathering in the Swamps" rodbuilders gathering on May 2nd and 3rd 2015, which is on Saturday and Sunday. Starting at 9:00 AM and ending at who knows what time PM.
This is an open invitation to anyone from anywhere that wants to come on down for a cràwfish boil on Saturday with all the fixin's like potatoes, sausage, carrots, mushrooms and whatever other critters we can toss into the pot. If planning on coming please let me know so that I can get an idea of how much food to prepare. We'll have several demos going on during the day Saturday and on Sunday. Also, I've received word that Bill and Karry Batson will be there along with New York's own Billy Vivona and hopefully we'll have other company reps coming down. Just waiting on them to say the word that they'll be here. Lathe demos, wrapping, finishing, grip making, crosswrap other demos, tricks and anything else that may be of interest. Anyone interested in volunteering to do a demo of a technique that you're proficient in would be most welcome. If we could get a list of volunteers ahead of time we could post the demos here. And of course we'll try to have door prizes and everything I have in stock, if anyone wants to purchase anything, will be on sale at wholesale or below wholesale prices. We'll keep everyone posted as to any updates we may have. Hope to have a large crowd on hand for a fun filled weekend. My wife Rachael just made up a list of hotels near our shop in Houma, Louisiana.

I will do my best to make a complete mess out of as much of your shop as possible, EVA dust and chunks and thread mixed in with crawfish tails and haeads everywhere and empty glasses of hurricanes - can't wait!

Billy's going to need an alligator hat. The Alligator should sport a hurricane in each paw and be donned with a wizard's hat. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/27/2015 01:05PM by John E Powell. Re: Swamplands Second annual Rodbuilders Gathering in the Swamp
