Good morning Francois.
I will be on site with my cell phone . Let me know if this will be OK for an on site phone number and if so I will give you my cell number.
Some visiting members have flown into Chicago Il about 100 miles from the event site .
Others have flown into a smaller air port at South Bend Indiana about 30 miles from the event site .

Francois, I will be on site most of the time. Koen V. arrived at Chicago, O’Hare airport last year, and another DOW member was able to pick him up on his way to Argos. I will likewise give you my cell phone number in a private message. It is about 120 miles driving from O’Hare to Argos, Indiana, USA. There is a closer airport at South Bend, but the ticket prices are much more expensive.
I live about 90 miles South East of Argos, near Decatur, Indiana.
There is a small office at the fairgrounds property, but not often manned in the off-season (Not actually Fair time!)

Wayne is right on about the Agros Event. It time to get get all of our plans in order, don’t wait for the last week to ask for time off from work or get those projects done around the house that you could do ahead of time.
Remember if your wood/charcoal project is not finished, bring it anyways, we would love to see it first hand. If you have questions or need help, ideas on your build we can help you. It is always good to see the project being built.
@Woody, Brian brought his gasifier truck to the event and worked on his gasifier there, and got it’s first flare at the event. It was a big flare!
He needed a bag of lemons to wipe the SWEM off of his face.

Can anyone tell me where or how a person can register for the Argos woodgas meet in 2019. I’m sorry I have been searching this tread but cannot find anything. Any help would be much appreciated.

Melted a little aluminum today! Maybe I will bring this and give it to a worthy attendee. Dreawing perhaps?
Also, i think my experimental part may have finally come out good.

The button name tags are so cool. I love the Agros Woodgas Meetup button too. Can’t hardly wait to pin one on my hat and shirt.

Hey Bob. I thank you very much for posting the pictures. Is there any way you could fill in the names of the people in the pictures. I was particularly interested in that small gasifier with the person standing in front of a white S10 My guess is it is Matt. Don’t remember hearing about the little tractor since Arvin and I’m sure he didn’t make the trip. And the German religious group?? TomC

Here are some more 2018 Argos Woodgas Meetup pictures
These two guys look pretty happy to see the old 92 Dodge Dakota from the book again. Michael Gibb is standing behind Wayne.
I love the picture with the Argos water tower and the Woodgas flare in the evening. Looking forward to doing it again with you all and with you who I know but have never met. It’s like a DOW family reunion.

Hi Tom, I think I will try to get pictures of the members this year facing the camera with their name tags showing. This might help everyone recognize names with faces and help us remember better. I don’t remember if there is a way I can tag myself when looking at other pictures that other people have posted, maybe @Chris would know how to do it.

Hi Tom, someone was driving a little tractor in the parade, who drives it? Ron L. has the big international and Jacob bought his mid size tractor.
