Provo 2006

[Ryan]

Recent posts have made me wonder who will be coming to Provo this year for the Woodturners Symposium and Penturners Rendezvous.

To start it off I will be to the Penturners Rendezvous on June 14th.

Is there a web site about this event[8D]

I have to miss it![V][] Unfortunately, my wife and son and I will on doing a 5 day trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, the River of No Return wilderness.[][]

I may try to make the symposium, I have to look into it a bit more.

 

[PenWorks]

Man, this is an early first call []
I made my reservations allready at the Hampton
& sent in my registration for the symposium.
So I guess that is a YES, I'm there []

 

[Jeff Mayfield]

My wife and I will be there, staying at the Hampton

Went last year and will definitely be there this year (schedule allowing). I have several business trips I have to make during that time, but I will be there if I can.

And Gerry, you can get a helecopter out of the middle fork to Hailey and then it is only a 5 hour drive. Then you only miss one day out of the Middle Fork ride.[]

With much regret I won't be there this year. I attended last year and had the time of my life, heck I even learned a few things. If any of you are thinking about this event my suggestion is GO, you won't be sorry. The Penturners event was a nice opportunity to meet a lot of the guys and gals that I talked to via the internet and the symposium had the best turners from around the world doing demo's. Just writing about it makes me bummed out that I will have to pass it up.

I'm sorry to hear that Wayne[] I had a great time talking with you. It was really great meeting all these people I had communicated with (Don, Anthony, Ryan, Nils, Lou, etc, etc).

I might even bring some "special" Cocobolo again.[]

 

[nilsatcraft]

I'm going to see if I can get a good deal on a flight. If so, I'll see if my schedule permits. [] LOL- Of course I'm going to be there, it's a lot of fun to meet everyone and learn new things. I just wish I could attend the symposium over at the University but I'll be working. I hope to see a lot of you here!

Bill,
That was some "drop dead gorgeous" cocobolo. We have an exchange student from France and I made her a pen from the Pyrenees Mountain holly you gave me. She loved it and was amazed I would have wood from France. Thanks again.

I agree, the fun of the rendezvous and the CSUSA open house is meeting all of the great people we share with here daily.
Do a good turn daily!

I'll be there. It will be my first time and I can't wait. It will also be fun to meet some of you.[8D]

 

[laserturner]

Haven't missed one yet. Just booked a room at the Hampton Inn and registered for the Rendezvous. Look forward to seeing everyone again.

Just to clarify, we put on the Super Wednesday that happens every year on the day before the Symposium but we do not put on the Symposium itself. That is a product of Brigham Young University and the Utah Woodturners Association. The official site for the Symposium is at http://www.utahwoodturning.com and you can register there if you'd like. I'm pretty sure they've sold out the last couple of years so be sure to register soon.
