Many new things have come to Erie since the last conference in 2008. The Sheraton has been remodeled and looks better than new. Many new restaurants, hotels, and attractions have popped up nearby, offering new activities and entertainment for all. We have added a new tour to the program and a special ladies’ luncheon that will be remembered.
The men’s display theme will be “The Combination Plane,” and dedicated to the tool intended to replace a tool chest’s worth of molding planes with a plane that could do it all—a concept that had mixed results for many tool manufacturers
