Picking a date for Argos 2018

Chris · February 5, 2018, 2:34pm

Hmm, polls seem to be broken. We need to take a vote on which weekend. Can choose multiples.

May 4-6
May 11-13 (Mothers Day)
May 18-20
May 25-27 (Memorial Day)
June 1-3

May 11th 12th 13th is my vote. Second choice 4th 5th 6th of May.
Edit: May 25th, 26th, 27th, might work also. And it would be warmer for us all.

Hello Chris .

I can work with any of those dates .

Have you heard from Ron Lemler and family to see if they are willing to host again ?

mggibb · February 5, 2018, 10:56pm

Not sure if that worked but I agree with Bob.

mggibb · February 5, 2018, 10:57pm

Hmmm
Apparently quotes are tricky

I like june its warmer, spring seems like it hangs on later and later these global cooling conditions, were in s 30 year cycle near the top for cooling trends, high 90’ and a few 105s predicted for kanasa. I got a Mike lorosa kind of car i might make this year it gets about 30 too gallon on highway. No trailer for cooking hhco yet.You folks in the deep south are more than welcom too take a dip in lake michigan in july and august i think the water is about 60 f degrees in the big lake.

May 11-13 or 25-27 would be best for me workwise.
Also, I’m happy to help out with the preparation, but I have no idea how these things are done. I’d need some coaching.

don_mannes · February 6, 2018, 1:16am

I’ll plan to be there whatever days get the votes. I would not miss it if I could help it. Andy’s dates work best for me too though. I will help with whatever I am able to do also.

greghenze · February 6, 2018, 2:06am

25 -27 would be best for me

Wayne · February 7, 2018, 12:52am

Hello All

I just got an email from Ron Lemler . The officials of the fair grounds will contact him tomorrow with the dates the fair ground is available.

Ron_L · February 9, 2018, 2:26am

Hello Wayne and Woodgas group. Here are the open dates for May and June for the Argos Meetup.
May 4-6, May 11-13, June1-3, June 8-10 the rest of June is taken. We are not able to host on Memorial Weekend due to previous obligations. Let us know what date is best for most people and we will reserve it as soon as possible. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.
Ron L.

Wayne · February 9, 2018, 2:51am

Thank you Mr. Ron!!

I can go with any weekend but I would like to vote for May 11-13 to give the west coast boys Bobmac and Michael Gibb just a little advantage ( long trip ). May 11-13 was there first choice .

Edit . Just read Billy North’s post on his event so I will go back to neutral .

Bobmac · February 9, 2018, 4:03am

Hi Wayne, the 4th through 6th of May will work just as good, and it will not interfere with Billy North’s Event. That was our second choice.
Bob

Handy_Andy · February 9, 2018, 10:54am

June 8-10 would also work for me.
Thank you mr Ron for sponsoring this for us.

rustyold36 · February 9, 2018, 4:28pm

I will not be attending this year’s event.
For me spring time has always been an issue. Getting the garden going and opening cabins and getting clients ready for the summer has to come first. This year I am trying to get a plant nursery started as well.
Hoping you all have a good time. If anyone is driving by and need a fill up I will be able to hook you up with some dry wood chunks.

MikeR · February 9, 2018, 5:55pm

Does anyone have a “can not attend” problem with June 1-3? I fear the first weekend in May will be cold. Several folks have asked for a potentially warmer time, this is primarily an outdoor event in Northern Indiana. Please, please reply if you strongly dislike June 1-3. Please “Like” if you can come that weekend. This is a poll, and the date will be set SOON.

Bobmac · February 9, 2018, 7:12pm

Hi Mike, I could make it on June 1st and 2nd would have to leave early on the 3rd. I need to be back on the 7th. I’m not sure about Michael on that date. We would have to travel on Memorial Day not the best day to travel.
Bob

MikeR · February 9, 2018, 8:00pm

A lot of folks leave early on Sunday. Yes, travelling on Memorial day can be busy, but you are going the opposite way of the crowd, I think!

kev · February 10, 2018, 12:52am

Joanne, dakota and I can make any of those dates. Thanks Chris for picking my truck to post. I hope my new fame doesn’t change me. (ha ha)

kmrland · February 10, 2018, 1:08am
