    I can't get to the Forum listing, so tossing this here. Bunyan Show is inbound. Weather permitting I'll be there on Friday as per usual drooling over all the equipment and hunting for unique Christmas presents.

    It's moved around a bit, but we've been doing it for a long time now. Guernsey Fairgrounds celebrates 25 years hosting this year. A reminder of my age as I started attending when it was in Nelsonville Ohio.

    Lots to see and hear. All the good 'fair' food. Neat crafts. Unique and useful vendors. Good People. If at all practical you should try to attend at least once. The only way for folks like us to have a bad time there is if you're getting drowned by rain.

    I'd loved to go but just had back surgery last week. Unable to walk much and more importantly the meds I'm on prevent me from driving.

    It'll make it sweeter when it finally happens. I'm still headed there Friday. Weather doesn't look great but I'll check again tomorrow night. I don't mind a little rain so long as I know it's coming. If it is going to monsoon all day, I will probably wait until Saturday to go. Mid 70s with scattered showers showing for Friday.

    Got soaked a couple of times. Sorry, left the phone in the truck...no pics. Turnout was way higher than I thought it'd be with everyone knowing it'd be raining. Seemed to be a lot of high schoolers in the crowd. Guessing they have some sort of field day/outreach thing. Lots to see and buy as always. People who were there Saturday got some stellar weather.

    Walt and I were there Saturday. It was amazing to see all the different things to make firewood.

    Wish we could have gone again. We went last year with walt on Friday, then Miz Carol and I went back on Saturday, got a case of Bourbon maple syrup and a Woodland Mills stump grinder...

    I made it out cheaply. My buddy bought some fancy metal cutting tools. Wanted to buy a chainsaw carving to gift at Christmas but majority of fare available was all Pumpkin/halloween themed, which kinda makes for a crummy Christmas present. One booth had some awesome pieces but they were above my pay grade.

    TimberCutterPatriot was inside the crafts building doing a stream/video with her when I went through there I think.
