Joey Jarrard of CAMaster has been kind enough to ask us to join them at the International Woodworking Fair (IWF) this August in Atlanta Georgia. The idea is for both of our groups to share some resources and the IWF experience. The Creek will have a booth next to CAMaster, the real reason is so I can watch their demonstrations.
We have plenty of time to plan for the event. Our goal is to be able to meet with Members of our Community and try to put together some events of our own.
First - We would like to start a T-Shirt design contest right away so everyone who wants to submit their design has plenty of time. The custom IWF SawMill Creek T-Shirts that are ordered will be available for you to pick up at our booth. If enough people want hats we can get them as well.
Second - we want everyone to know that our booth is yours as well. We will welcome any of you who want to put some time in the booth and work the show. We may even see a few of our Moderators smiling faces there...you never know.
Third - Joey Jarrard is investigating our options for renting a banquet room, we hope to be able to put together a catered meal for everyone one evening.
From here we are looking for suggestions from our Community. Let us know if you have any ideas or preferences for the Fair or an event we could host that you think people would enjoy. The floor is open for discussion!!!
