Thread: Minnesota Get Together?

Randy and I have been trying to find a time for a gathering in November. The two weekends that would work the best are November 8/9th or 15/16th. Say for an afternoon. However many can attend either time in the greatest number will make the choice.

Location: My shop, Cannon Falls, not far off the main drag south of St Paul. Bring whatever razor related stuff for show and tell. Randy will do the Honemeister demo and I can fill your curiosity to the brim with steel related questions.

Just like the mid Mo get-together, I'm in as long as my work and my wife allow it. At this point either date option works for me. Cannon Falls is easy for me to get to so I'm happy about the location.

Thanks!!!

Whatever works best for you, Mike. I should be able to go on either a Sat or a Sun (between the two I think a Saturday would work a bit better for me). Thanks for offering to host it.

I should be able to bring a homemade strop and maybe a few other things for door prizes.

Let's get more than four guys!!

Dang, now I'm going to have FAD (Forge related Acquisition Disorder)!!!

I should be able to make the drive down pending on exams and what not.

Actually Saturdays would work better for me as well.

Saturdays will be good. I'll warn you all now, visiting my shop will cause more than acquisition disorders. The disease of steel is quite catching and incurable...

Hmmm, Chrisl, found the MN Meet Up info page. I'm gonna have to pump Randy for particulars. Sounds like fun. Need any door prizes?

Someone let me know the date of the MN get together as I'm donating a stone for the raffle. Also, Chris L, if you're reading this, let me know the address to send it to and when it needs to be there.

Hey Howard, we'll have to catch up with you next time. We had the meet on 11/15/2008. We are planning another in approx 3 months and I'll be sure you know about that one in advance. Maybe you can make it to the next one which would be even better!!

Thanks a bunch to Chris for putting this all together, Mike for the use of his shop (and for sharing lots of knowledge about steel), and Randy for sharing his knowledge of honing!Thanks also to all those who donated door prizes!

I enjoyed chatting with everyone; checking out all the hones that Chris, Ron, and Randy brought with; and checking out the forge.

It was great to get together and meet some of the guys in the area, and I am looking forward to the next one.

Thanks again,
Zac
