HDBRbuilder Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I would love to help, but that is in the middle of my busiest period at work...basically from 1 August thru 20 October, with about a one-week respite of only 8-hour days around the middle of September. Sorry! On the up-side, this may be the last year I have doing this...seriously considering retiring before that time of next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssh Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 pappyIII and I are headed for Hope and the Klipsch booth at the Watermelon Festival. 80% chance of rain. The Boy Scout motto comes to mind. SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 OK, we were also prepared to pitch-in where needed, and that was not at the Klipsch booth. We joined the labor pool at the museum. It was a productive day. I need rest now. And I need another drink. And I need a good cigar. Some Alieve and a good movie on TV might also be nice. Did I mention that I'm 67? I probably didn't mention that early enough. It really was a good work day, and it helped to be in good company. I won't mention any names, since they are so often associated with great fanfare on the Forum. Please support the Klipsch museum; it supports us.

Ole Dollar Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Greetings from the Klipsch booth at the Watermelon Festival in Hope. I am really enjoying meeting the people here and talking Klipsch. I'm also hearing stories about PWK and his wife from many people that knew them. The food here is awesome as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Not sure what my lack of skill set would allow but, make a fairly good gopher. Not a big planner but will see when time is nearer. Willing but cannot bank on the able part yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel's wife Posted August 27, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2017 "Gophers" are always welcome. Helps with the entire workload. No skill set required...just a willingness to help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many things to do you will find your niche. I was asked to be at the booth and represent this effort. My first concern was "How can I speak for Klipsch, I'm a volunteer" to which I was asked "how many Klipsch speakers do you own". As I started counting on my fingers and went to my second had they said - "who knows more about Klipsch, you are the Festival goers. Problem solved and confidence given. Something not mentioned is getting to know the other museum supporters while working and over meals. I have a greater respect for those I met as I heard their stories and their love for Klipsch. I met some new friends at the Pilgrimage and with this work weekend got to know some of them on a more personal level. Makes me wish I was not living so far away from the museum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information. That sounds about like I wanted to happen. Glad you were able to do it. Yes, wish I were closer too. Only had face to face with 3 members so far. Booth sounded like fun. By able I mean, nothing in the way of coming and well...Klipsch. Thanks again... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I volunteered to work whenever needed, as I live in Texarkana. I gave the museum curator my number, but he has never called me.
