Barring any last minute modifications, this is the agenda for the
9'th annual
Midwest Penturner's Gathering
(MPG).
For those who are new to IAP or have spent the last 9 years happily CA glued to your lathe, the MPG is a fun-filled weekend devoted to mainly, but not exclusively - Penturning. It includes demonstrations, door prizes (LOTS), contests, vendors selling/displaying their products, and most importantly - meeting and talking to folks in-person.
Under the guidance and protection of Gandalf (BobJackson), a devoted band of Hobbits (...Bob's Minions...) have been making various arrangements!
