Sounds like a lot of fun, but a three-hour, one-way drive time makes a 4-5 hour picnic ..... I don't want to say pointless. I'd LOVE to meet some of the people on the board, but it's a long way to go. So, not this year. Maybe next year if it moves south.

@Chaz, maybe you can find someone local to your area to rideshare with. I know it can make for a long day, but I've never regretted spending time with like minded folks. It's almost a 2-hr one-way trip for me.

It's traditionally been held at Jordan Lake, I don't recall any discussions of it being held elsewhere.

OK!

Anyone Near Rock Hill, SC, going, interested in car-pooling? Me with a possible +1.

Not seeing any calendar conflicts, so figure me and my wife - I voted above.
We’re new to NC and in a new development so if I happen to run into anyone else new here that’s into woodworking, I’ll see if they might want to join us.

 

[Dee2]

Looks like 64 so far. Everyone should buy 64 tickets to celebrate.
Now 78 (03/30/24). Time to buy tickets!

@Chaz 3 hours and 50 minutes up to 5 hours depending on traffic for me EACH way...
I go EVERY year I can, it is literally that much fun!
Seeing everyone is worth it... watching me nearly destroy a raffle prize? PRICELESS!
