Central PA 2nd Annual Hawg Days GTG

1 a yr is about all we can make.

 

We are lucky to be getting three in this year.

 

That is nice

 

What are the details on the raffle? Trying to figure out if I should donate or purchase, or both.

 

We are still in PA. I gotta say I really like this state. We hit the Civil war museum in Harrisburg today then Penns Cave on our way back to State College. Leaving tomorrow morning.

 

We hit that before the GTG last year...pretty cool! (literally!)

 

This is not too far away. Might be a interesting side trip

There’s a museum in Eastern PA that I think a lot of folks here would find worthwhile:

Mercer Museum & Fonthill Castle

Tons of pre-industrial tools and items, organized by function. Very well done, IMO. I had my little kids with me and they were 100% interested.

 

I’m thinking Sharon, “The Original”…

 

I have a list in the first couple of pages of this thread. There are gonna be some real nice prizes. We kind of do the raffle in place of the donations to help pay for some of the stuff.

Last year everyone chipped in for pizza and then we had the raffle to pay for the other things.

That's totally up to you whatever you want to do.

 

I wish that you could make it to Steve. We'll probably see you at Walts's. Me and Scott plan on going if nothing pops up.

 

Ok cool, I’ll have something to donate to the raffle, and bring some green to buy tickets as well.

 

Joe, add a new Oregon hard nose 20” large Stihl mount bar and 72EXL072 dl chain to the raffle.

 

I look forward to it.

 

Thank you Ryan. I'll update the raffle list.

You know I'm in and I believe Michelle and both boy's will be there so I guess that makes 4 total on my end.

 

Barring any life BS we are planning on it next year. It's going to be in a different home away from home than any previous GTG. We couldn't pass up the deal especially considering it was one of three brands of fiberglass campers we were looking to buy new in the future. The exact model infact if we had purchased new. We spent all weekend going over it as they let us take it home without payment. We know the seller. Everything works as it should and no leaks from anything. Outside in or plumbing.

 

Robin and I will plan on being there , what would you like for us to bring ?
