2011 MPG SCHEDULE

[low_48]

Here is the schedule for the day, Saturday, April 16th. I'll try to run this with some flexibility, so the schedule is just going to be a guide of what you will see. Expect times to wander around a bit. I think most of the vendors are going to set up Friday afternoon/evening, and that time still needs to be set. When I get that time, I'll let everyone know, and all will be welcome to come over and help set up the chairs and visit with the vendors. I'll post that time as soon as I find out. With the 45 minutes before we get started Sat. morning, you will have some time to shop early, then often after that with the 15 minute breaks between demos. I think this is really going to provide a fun day, and I'm sure you won't go home without some new ideas and inspiration. Remember to bring pens to swap, blanks to swap, pens for the troops, and some of your best pens for competition. I've set 15 minutes back if you want to show something else that you turn. Even if you don't want to talk about it, an instant gallery will be set up to inspire everyone. SEE YOU THERE!!!!!!!

Rich: Will Terrance have his World Famous poppers available there?

I haven't heard anything from Terrance this year. Maybe Greg will let us know, but with my "constitution" I've stayed away from those since the beginning. If I ate peppers like that, I would have to move my vendor table either outside, or, well you get the picture! Maybe someone needs to start a new tradition? Any specialty cooks coming?
