Woodworking in America 2012 site selection UPDATE

[Alan in Little Washington]

I got this email from PWW today:

"Help us break a four-way tie!

It's been a month since the Woodworking in America 2011 conference was held in Greater Cincinnati, and we've already begun to plan for WIA 2012. Two weeks ago, we asked for your input on where to hold the next Woodworking in America conference. Your response was tremendous, but when the survey closed, we had a virtual four-way tie (two of the locations have now been eliminated). Please help us break the tie, by answering this one final question: http://svy.mk/rOHxiD

Thank you kindly,

Woodworking in America Conference team"

Unfortunately the link (in the email and on the Pop WW web site) takes you the PWW page but doesn't present the question! It gives no clue as to the two locations that have been eliminated, either. I suspect another email advising that the web page has been fixed will be forthcoming.

Raleigh not even on list? :gar-Cr:nah::wsad:

Here's a thread with a link to a page that links to the voting page:

And you seem to be able to vote multiple times. :gar-Bi

That doesn't seem to work for me. Supposed to be two choices, don't see anything but

"Thank You"
"DONE "

 

[gdoebs]

They must be having issues with the survey, folks must be checking their email! Just before I replied to this thread I voted again. Now I see the same page you do.

Indeed they are. And when I went to the survey page, there were still 4 choices ??????

I deleted the cookie and voted, but there are still four choices showing again today. If Asheville is not one of the two I wasted my time.

I would think Asheville would be a front runner. I know Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Louisville are all closer to PWW's offices and the staff likes to be close to the site for logistics reasons, but NC has one of WIA's star attractions each year (Roy), a number of top WWers, like Brian Boggs, Greg Paolini, etc. woodworking and crafts schools, like Roy's, the Campbell School, etc., some great local attractions like the Biltmore, Grove Park Inn, and attractions of other categories like Bas and some guy in little Washington :rotflm: .

Thanks for posting the link to the voting page Alan :icon_thum, In addition to the attractions you listed we currently have an additional 5,771 members who could potentially visit if it were fairly close. :wsmile:

Yeah, that Sully in Little Washington - he's something else! :gar-Bi:gar-Bi

BTW, I work in Little Washington and I'd love to drop by for a shop visit sometime! Or not, because I'm pretty sure after I visit your shop my garage-shop will feel.... inadequate

Sully is good too, but I was thinking of Ernie Miller, harpsichord builder extraordinaire! He was featured last year in the Great American Woodworker section of American Woodworker magazine. :wsmile:

Drop by any time.

I've seen Ernie's work firsthand and I was scared to even touch it, it looked so nice! As a matter of fact, I bet he was scared I'd touch it, too
