I was there.  I guess I missed the part about members meeting up at 1.?  Talked to Will and Captain for a bit over at Peterson.  It was nice to meet ya' Will.  Good show, but would have spent more time browsing if there was less rain.

And notice in the last photo, it had stopped raining!! Of course, after 5pm, the rain stops and the clouds let a little light thru!!

It was a great show, reguardless of the rain! I enjoyed meeting all of you and putting faces to Forestry Forum names.

Its funny....Thursday night I'm rubbing the equipment and 2 fellows walk up to me and introduce themselves as Vermonter & Wiam...I have to laugh, because if there were someone listening that doesn't know the "handles" on the forum, they would bust a gutt!! I quickly found out that their parents gave them "real" names, Andy & William...nice to meet you! Then during the show, a lady was "shyly" walking into my booth...she was so quiet and finally she says "Hi, I'm sprucebunny..." tee hee this time my daughter was at the booth, she doesn't know about our names on the forum and she giggled!! :D Thanks for stopping in to introduce yourself, it was nice to meet all of you!

I looked for Sprucebunny because I thought she might be easier to spot. (I failed ) I probably walked by all of you a dozen times . I wish I were at the designated spot at 1pm .

 I showed both days w/FF hat on  ;D. The show was great even with the rain. Didn't like the prices on equip, I asked about. A baby harvesting head for 31k guess I'll be using the huskys a little longer  :(.
It was good to met everyone. You definantly need a good map to get around essex. I missed out on a barbaque looking for the motel  >:(.
