Fellas....sorry to let ya down on this thing. I did not start this thread. I started out offering to help....no response. I then suggested, with some help...maybe I could make this happen. I then posted another thread asking how to put on an event like this and got 0 responses. Looking into...

Bill, he did, in fact get that old Mall running! Got to do a little more research into the liabilty end of this. First thing Al (the welder) asked, when I asked about using his place was what about insurance. Hoping we can make this happen, somehow.

Bill, a 2 million dollar liability policy only costs us $525.00 a year at the gun club! That's a lot different than $300.00 for ONE DAY. Perhaps I should call that company and see if this kind of event would be covered or, if not, a rider could be added. I was hoping that others that have...

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!! Just got off the phone with my insurance man and he told me insurance for a one day event like this would cost maybe $300.00! AND...it would only cover spectators. Participants would all have to sign waivers. Nuthin is ever simple anymore....is it?

Some have expressed interest in having a CTG here in West Central Illinois this spring. I thought I might jump start this by offering to help with it. So....I have some questions as I've never been to one. What "games" do you play? Timed cuts on various sized rounds, I presume. What else...

Bill G. Call me....maybe there is some way we could make this happen. Perhaps downtown Little York..... Our welder friend has a good size corner lot next to his shop. (And needs LOTS of wood to heat his shop) I have tents, all sizes, tables, chairs, etc. (from the Gun Club) The Sweetwater...

I was hopin this would happen too, Bill

whitedogone... If ya ever have any spare time when you are in Monmouth....stop in for a visit. I run Dan's Body Shop....300 West Harlem Ave...Coffee pot is always on!

I agree...set a date. I can't be very far from you as I live near Little York IL. I could maybe help in some way. Have some other locals here that would be interseted.

:ices_rofl: Joat....this was well.... after.... I gave her the estimate.;)

Well, today was not what I hoped for... Got up to lower 40's which only melted the top of the ice. So now it's water on top of ice...slicker that ever. Had a lady stop for an estimate today and went down flat on her back! Hope she's OK (and doesn't sue me) Fog set in about dark and the...

While probably not as efficient as Lakeside's here is a way to do it without welding. http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=64536

Looks like we might get some relief here tomorrow. Supposed to get up to 51. Sure won't be sorry to see this ice go!

Do ya suppose, in a few years we will be telling people...."I remember the winter of 08-09"??? Apparently the power is back on at my house.

Supposed to get another 3 inches here today. Ice never has melted, trees are still loaded. Down to 8 degrees tonight, with wind. Intermittent power outages here and there, but I haven't had to fire up my generator....yet. I gave up my snowplow business last year after 20 years. Never made...

It's been below zero here for the last two days. Wind chill yesterday was......HORRIBLE! Next Friday it's supposed to get clear up to 40 so.....no relief from all this damned ice.... all week. It's so cold salt does....nothing. This is the path from my office door to the bathroom. I'm...

Great post and thanks! If I don't have part numbers in hand for these kind of parts my local dealer (rental store) looks at me like I am speaking a different language.

We only had a prediction of an inch or two for today and that's about what we got BUT....the wind came up suddenly and created white out conditions on the North-South roads. It's still howling. All the trees are still loaded down with ice as it hasn't been above twenty seven here. I'm betting...

Well...this is way over this dumb old body man's head except for the fact that the modded saw ran 6 seconds faster than the stock one..... If an unlimited coil made it, say, another second faster would it be worth the trouble and expense? I say leave it as is and run it side by side with...

Highways are clear. Backroads (blacktops) are still terrible. Going down to 0 Sat nite. High of 8 Sunday. Don't seem so bad after reading Lakesides forecast.
