Hi all, we are running a bit late getting the show on the road, but the ORBS will be hosting a Gathering on Saturday March 12th at the Dogwood Park Shelter in North Canton, OH starting at 10:30 AM and going until people are ready to leave. Just as we have done in the past, the cost of admission will depend on the number of attendees to offset the cost of the venue, and will be $10 or less per person. The ORBS will provide a lunch and beverages.

In addition to our regular booths and impromptu demonstrations, we are planning to offer an introductory rod building course with students purchasing a basic rod building kit. The ORBS will give talks on blank and component selection and teach the fundamentals of rod building.

If you are interested in attending, please contact:

Herb Tidrick ([email protected]) or Joe Vanfossen ([email protected])

Stay tuned for more announcements!

Hey there Joe.

I was actually planning on sending you a message this weekend on OGF to ask if you were having another gathering. Definitely count me in !!!

I really enjoyed the one I went to last year, and am looking forward to seeing you there. I may even bring a couple of the rods I've built just to have them critiqued.


Looking forward to seeing you in March !!!
