I hope to make it on Friday! I've been the last three years. I always come home with some great soda bottles!! It is a great show. 4 hour drive one way for me, but well worth it.

Not sure yet if I am going...Missed it last year too.

Didn't go...Worked yesterday and have several inches of snow currently and it's still coming down.
Maybe Baltimore?
I have a way and can take the time off work, however I need a badge to get in on Saturday, else I be wandering around Baltimore by myself all day. No fun.
Any help??

Hi Charlie ,
They say Baltimore is the show of all shows.
I'd like to make it one of these years. It is a long trip for me..... 700 miles one way. And it's only a one day show correct ? I know Ed Herrold said he sold in 5 figures year before last at Baltimore.
I may fly in one of these years....and if I bought a bunch I could send it home with you or Ralph and drive over and pick it up.

BRIAN...it is a large show with lots of variety and decent prices. It's also a Saturday show, but only for Dealers and their "helpers", wife, etc. I think set-up is at Noon , before then nothing is allowed on the tables.
Ralph is going up on Sat., is why I need a loaner badge or ticket to get in. Otherwise I will have to wait till Sunday morning and get in with the public. I don't relish going if I can't get in Sat....will just stay home. Mebbe go diggin' or something...

Only show I know of that can compare, as to the assortment of goodies being offered, is Mansfield, OH.
