Porkopolis Eggfest - Cincinnati

Options
Who's going? I've seen several names on another thread about Eggfests in general mention they would be there so I thought I would start one just for Porkopolis. Many thanks to @fasteddiem for organizing this event again this year. I hope to meet many of you this year! Come see me in bay 11.

    are you cooking @marysvilleegger ? If so I would get there between 7:30 and 8:00. If not, I would still come early. The demos start at 10:00 but I had a blast from the time I got there until we shut down last year. There are a lot of neat people and brilliant ideas and setups there.

    Thx. I'm not cooking so was thinking 9ish. Do I need to sign up in advance for the demos? Is there a site to see the schedule of demos or is it just walk around and see what u bump into?

    You will have a blast if you get there at 9:00. I was amazed at how many different ways people light their Eggs. You don't have to sign up for demos. They basically all happen in the same place. You will be able to just wander around and shop for accessories, taste food, talk to other Eggers, watch demos. There is no shortage of fun.Oh and they serve beer if that interests you.

    I would highly recommend getting there before 10 if possible. The registration line starts to get long, never a long wait, but it's like standing in line at Disney World...too much fun just steps away! 

    Looking forward to meeting you @marysvilleegger

    It's gonna be a fun one! 

    Happy Eggin'

    Any chance that the mini max will be present and available at the fest? 

    If not, will Wardway take pre-orders?

    TIA!

    I am realllllllllllly hoping to make it, but not sure yet.  My wife turns 30 that weekend so I am not calling the shots.  Definitely need to whip out some world class persuasion.

    @YEMTrey Unfortunately the Mini Max will not be making it to Porkopolis. They are not yet available through our distributor yet! We'll leave that as a cliffhanger to get you to come back next year!
