Mid TN Woodworking show

[Jack Wood]

Anyone else going to the woodworking show in Smyrna TN the weekend of June 12th? Not having ever been to one I was wondering if you can get a good price on tools? I know that at PC shows you can but then theres no service after the sell and returns are next to impossible.

Jack:

What's this show all about? I might want to go, too. Do they have a link that I could look at? Thanks.

Brad:

[Ken Salisbury]

A google search resulted in no information. I would like to go but need more infor - anyone got any??/

[Ernie Hobbs]

I just called them and they are faxing me the flyer. They don't have a website set up but hopefully we can get whatever we need from the flyer. If you want, I'll copy the info and post it here, once the fax comes through.

I made a telephone call to the number Brad posted. Finally after getting transferred to someone who do what was going on I found out that the show is being sponsored by Woodline. It is the Middle Tenn WW Show and is at the Tennessee Expo Center in Smyrna, TN. the building is a converted KMart Store.

Wayne Sutter (Woodline Owner) is sending me more information. I will post it when I get it.

You beat me to it - posting the information Ernie - Thanks.

Mike Sutter of Woodline did e-mail me the flyer PDF file. No need for me to post that now.

I plan to attend the show on Saturday.

Maybe some of us can meet there.

Was thinking about visiting my Mom & brothers, one who is about 20 miles from Smyrna but I would need an incentive to drive in from Tx like "Door Prizes"
Ken, spent many a Friday/Saturday night in Huntsville back in the early 70's. Would drive from Winchester Tn to partake in some festivities ;)

I am not in the "door prize" business. :) However, what more incentive do you need than to meet the infamous "Old Rebel" :D :o :eek: :p :)

I went last year and it was a nice, albeit fairly small show. Frank Klausz was there along with some other woodworking "celebrities", and talking with them made the trip worthwhile. There were a few decent deals, but nothing spectacular.

[Brad Hammond]

shoot..................... i gotta work.

[Greg Hairston]

I think I will take the ride from Memphis. Should be worth the trip.

I think I'm going to go on Friday. I have some work to do in Nashville anyway and could work it in.

[Ken Salisbury]

I still plan on attending the show on Saturday - Any one else ????

[Mike Ramsey]

Headed that way late Thursday or early Friday from Tx to visit my Mom & brothers, hope to be in Smyrna sometime Saturday. Hope to see you there.

[David Hayes]

I am planning to be at the show Saturday afternoon. Anyone have lunch plans or meeting up plans with other Creekers?

No plans per se -- I will be wearing a SMC hat - If they have a "break/snack area I will attempt to be in that area at noon. If no break/snack area - just look for the oldest, ugliest guy in the crowd :D

[Bob Wingard]

I'll be hanging around the snack/concession area at about noon .. .. .. look for an old, big, gray guy wearing a Tennessee Orange shirt & jeans. .. .. .. would love to meet some of you guys !! !! !!
