Thanks to Audrey and Michael for organizing such a wonderful event. Mary and I enjoyed bonding with all who attended.

Morning after: A very successful 4 day meeting was just concluded. Ruth and Karl were very gracious hosts. Cars on the lift program was supervised by Michael Morris. Neil Dubey presented several informative talks. Karl Middelhauve demonstrated his test bench set up for evaluating 600 hydraulic components and discussed weak points as well as evolution of parts manufacture over the years of production.


With the guidance of Karl's daughter, Audrey, the chosen restaurants were excellent. No one went away disappointed.


Special thank you to Michael Morris and the team he assembled to make this all happen. Look for announcements of next year's event in Florida.

Well, it has been over a month since we have seen any progress on the details of this event. Some of us make plans months in advance. Is there a program yet? We need to publish the details or there will be no attendance.

Again I'm here with the bad news.
Due to the current ongoing Covid-19 situation the Board of The International M-100 group have taken the difficult decision to cancel Lodefest for 2020.
Thanks go to Karl Middelhauve for offering to host the meet at his workshop in WI and, all going well, we will be thanking him for hosting in 2021.
And thanks also go to Chris, Jack and Mike, our hard working board members who put so much into the planning of this event. I trust your efforts will not be in vain and we can pick up where we left off when possible.
