Much as I dread it we hope to make the 08 date announcement in the next couple of weeks.

Grumpy

Dang Grumpy are you a glutton for punishment?

You always do a whizz-bang job. Hats off to you and all the volunteers (like your family).

Dave

Looking forward to it.
Same venue again?

Not much I look forward to more than the AK Fest!

Same here! And a plus for the east to west travellers - the bridge over the Maumee on 280 in Toledo is - open!

Pete

Looks like the same hotel. Still narrowing down the dates so please stay tuned.

I'll be there, for sure! I honestly think AK Fest is one of my annual highlights! It's like a personal holiday for me!

I only have one request...please, if there's any way to swing it, not Masters weekend.

Well, I for one hope that the date works out with what conflicted with my attending last year. Here's hoping that the planets align.

I'm in this year. Get ready for a large sell off of goodies to fund the trip if necessary.

What is the date of the Masters ?

As usual the dates we are considering are from the 3 rd Sat in March through the end of April.

Grumpy

The Masters is the weekend of April 11, 12 & 13.

Looking at my show schedule next spring and the dates you are choosing from for the Fest...I think I am in trouble.

Maybe it will work out.

Terry

I can tell ya it wont be on any of those dates.

Woohoo!

I was coming anyway, of course, but now I won't have to avoid tv's, radios, and newspapers all weekend!

I'll mark the calendar and put in for my PTO as soon as you know. If there is anyway I can help this year let me know.

Any word yet? Inquiring minds want to know! :arrow:

Pete

Party, party, party...

Unofficially the dates are may 3,4th

Grumpy

I think that date might conflict with the annual snail races at Bell Isle...

Then dang it I'm out.

Lol.

Dave- How does choosing or finding vendors work? There are a few brands I'd love to hear there next year.

Sweet l of course will be there. With the warmer weather perhaps l will bring my spring thong collection.:thmbsp::D

Why did they have to reopen the pool? Good thing I booked a refundable flight.

For those of us who are new here, could you please tells us the location: city, state, hotel?

Thanks!
Jim

The date and venue are not official yet but watch the AK News forum for an announcement very soon.

Grumpy

The suspense builds :para: .

Pete

Oh man! I sure hope I can get the time off rom work. I would give anything for me and Shawn to be able to make it out that way. We'd be in hog heaven. I know you work your tail off Dave to put this all together..... It's much appreciated.

Ron

It sure would be cool to meet you and Shawn, Ron. See what you can work out.
