PATCHES!!!!!! I got the final details worked out with Adam today. I will get the order placed ASAP. They will be 3.5" round, 100% embroidered, with iron-on backing. Final pricing will be posted as soon as I check costs at the Post Office.

Looking forward to it. Thanks a bunch!

By chance, will you be at Canoecopia? Bring them along and you'll sell a bunch of 'em.

Unfortunately, neither of us will be at 'copia. The production time is about 2 weeks, so we're looking at mid March. The picture of them is in PDF format, and so far I haven't been able to figure out how to make it show up on here. If I get that straightened out, I'll post it. The price has been set at $5 plus postage. I won't have that piece until Monday. When I get that I will post info about placing your orders. Thanks for your patience.

I hope you'll be bringing plenty to Mn. WingNight.

OK, here we go. Without knowing how much the patches will weigh it was hard to try and pin down accurate postage costs, so I made a decision all by myself! Since it appears that most of you will be ordering multiples, I settled on $1.25 for shipping. Some may be more, some less, but I thought it was a good compromise. Those that are more will be my treat, those less provide a little more to support the website. So the bottom line is $5 per patch plus $1.25. Now we come to the important part. PLEASE DON'T SEND ANY MONEY NOW!!! I want to wait to start taking orders until I have a confirmed delivery date. As soon as I get that, I will post the info you need to get your orders in. You've been very patient so far, we're almost there.

Sorry, 'copia is a definite no. I talked to the manufacturer today and the 3rd week in March looks likely. My initial order is for 300, so there should be enough to meet demand for a while. We could probably turn this into another song thread to pass the time. "Anticipation"

If you aren't going to have enough to go around, feel free to knock my request of four down to two so that someone else can get a couple as well. Like Coriolis, I can wait for the next order to get some more.
Thanks again!

Can we get those too? I would love to have a Portage Police patch!! Where do I order those?

I was bored one night and searching different canoe related items on ebay. I searched 'portage' and it popped up. Of course I had to have it!
It's amazing how many states have at least one town called Portage.

Thanks, I will check into that - if you have any extras you are willing to part with - let me know.

OK folks. Here we go!! I don't have the patches in my hot little hands yet, but they should be here in a week or so I hope. If you want to start sending orders, I'm ready to take them. I won't cash any checks until I have the patches in hand.
If you want to send cash, that's great, but sending cash through the mail is always a calculated risk. I'm fine with personal checks as long as they're made out of paper.
$5 per patch plus $1.25 for shipping.
Send orders to:
Chuck Elton
818 W. Third Street
Washburn, WI 54891
Please include your name and mailing address inside the envelope in case the outside gets damaged and is unreadable.
Ready, Set, Go!!!!

bellolake, I am getting ready to order 5 of the patches. Before I mail the order I wanted to ask if you also have the BWCA.com canoe stickers that I've seen around?
Thanks

Thanks LuvMyBell, noticed if I'd look a little harder there it was, right in front of me.

I was a late arrival and didnt get to be involved in the original discussion. I was interested in these patches as soon as I saw them in other threads but didnt know where they came from. The newest "fund drive" thread in gen discussion made me look for them again on the sites purchase page and not finding them there (again) it finally occurred to me to search threads. Bingo!
I have talked to bellolake in email, he still has patches left and indicated an interest in this thread being bumped for anyone who missed it before or needs a new one.
