ThomasPowers Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I'm leaving next Tuesday after work to head over to Quad-State, (and hit two sets of kids and grandkids and a Fiber Conference the weekend before Q-S...) Who else is planning to attend? Any potlucks planned? Thomas; currently planning to arrive Thursday Sept 20 and camp onsite with my wife the spinster.

JHCC Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hoping to make it. I have a hotel reservation (ah, the benefits of travel reward programs), but we're still seeing if we can make travel, food, and other ... incidentals ... fit the budget.

JHCC Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Update: just got a verbal agreement from a customer and the promise of sending the deposit by the fifteenth. That will cover the cost of attending; I just need to see about the schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Depends on work and family. I will not be sure until I get to the Ohio state line, maybe not even then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Had I known the date ahead of time.. I might have been able to pull it off.. I"m schedule to demo the 23rd.. Bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Usually it's the last full weekend of September every year; they pulled it up a week this year which was a surprise to me but worked nicely as the Wool Gathering had also been pulled up a week so I could talk my wife the Spinster into the trip!

jlpservicesinc Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Sometimes things work out just the way one could hope.. That is great Thomas.. Always best to travel with the peeps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cincinnatus Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I will be there Friday afternoon through Sunday. Volunteered to help out so I will be working with Richard Sullivan who will be making a gun barrel as one of the demonstrations. Ultimately I want to go home with an anvil.

ThomasPowers Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 First year Fred, (Fellow here in NM), went to Quad-State he came home with 30 anvils...and had to buy a trailer to haul them on. TPAAAT is usually a cheaper way to go; but Quad State is a good place if you want to walk in with cash and stagger out with an anvil.

FieryFurnace Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 My wife and I are headed up on Tuesday! Currently planning on hauling two trailers with two separate trucks. Be sure to stop in and say hi! BTW Quadstate is always the fourth weekend of the month. They didn't bump it up........but this month ended up with five weekends because the 1st was a Saturday. It seems earlier but it's always the fourth weekend. Camping is available onsite........you can still register online or register when you get there. Registration usually doesn't open till like Thursday or Friday morning. People will be arriving much earlier than that though.......Last year it was a chore finding a spot on Tuesday afternoon. Make sure you get registered and your camping spot paid for though.....apparently there were some issues last year of some campers not paying and the fairgrounds got a little antsy or something. It's a great event.......we all have to put in some $$$$$ to make it happen. BTW I am not a part of SOFA staff in any way. Just trying to put info out there so everyone knows what to do! Safe travels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Looks like I will be able to make it, but I think I missed the deadline for online registration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these years I have to convince Deb she wants to attend wool gathering. We're a steel wool couple too. The problem I'd have is with the tailgating section I have about everything I need or want that I can't make but I have soooooo much trouble walking away from juicy tools and such. One of these years. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year? I think Deb has herself convinced she wants to attend Wool Gathering and it's only about 40 miles from Quad State. I'm pretty sure she just wants to enjoy her RV and a long road trip would be cool. I may have to get a recognizable something Frosty to wear. Rufo is taken. A top hat and carrot? I'm jazzed already.

JHCC Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I'm trying to convince Lisa to go to Wool Gathering next year; she, Deb, and The Spinster can commiserate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Well if it's going to be a full on gathering of the ladies and the gents/ladies over at quad state, Then it's about time I get over that way.. Put faces to names and all the such.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I'm with Iron Dwarf, only I would have a longer swim. I could fly, but I know I couldn't resist a purchase, and Qantas frowns upon anvils in hand luggage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
