Who's going to Grizzly's tent sale June 12th in Springfield, MO?
I'm driving out from PA and meeting up with a non Creeker for the sale, anyone local going?

I'll be there but not a local. It is around 3 hours from Conway to Springfield.

I'm going, fortunately only about a hour from grove OK. Should be a good time.

I have always wanted to go, but it is over 500-miles away for me, and if I didn't get a good deal on a G9984 or G9985 sander or a widebelt, I would be disappointed. I have always thought, since I have 3-phase, it might be worth a trip down as some of this stuff may get passed over by others; however, the lack of tent sale gloats the past few years keeps me away.

Good luck!

I've been to the tent sale in Bellingham. Just a word of advice. Many people arrive a day early and get in line. It might be worth your while to do the same.

I am considering going to the one in Muncy PA in September. I live 4 hours away, but I love good deals. But is it worth the drive and time? I would love to hear about creekers experiences at the sale and their deals.

At Lamberts the servers throw rolls at tables instead of delivering them by hand it is great fun.

I have to pass on Grizzly's Tent Sale. I was in Springfield Tuesday to pick up a CL bargain Delta 12" RAS, and on down to Cassville MO, an hour away, to pick up a Delta RC33 planer off CL.

And Din!....my good friend Mel and I made a beeline for Lambert's and enjoyed our Throwed Rolls, huge chicken-fried steak, fried taters and blackeyed peas, far too much!!

Derek, Darin, and Rick, I've sent you a PM with my cell #. I'll be staying at the sale Friday night. Lambert's sounds like fun, but might be a little out of the way, I'm sure we could find a place for a bit after the sale.

Absolutely the best restaurant on the planet. If I ever win the lottery I'm going to have their chicken fried steak covered in brown gravy flown to me on a weekly basis...At least until the cholesterol kills me.

Probably one of the best restaurants you'll find, was all you can eat when I lived in Springfield (11 years ago that is).

Still is. Went there last year with some buddies and one of em got a "refill" on his huge steak in addition to getting quite a few pass arounds. Then spent the rest of the night whining about feeling like a boa constrictor :D
