Alright! A show we can make. We attended last year's show. More civil war stuff than anything, but I love it all.

Alright, Stephen,

High time. Glad you're gonna go to Geelong. [8D]

 

[Poison_Us]

LOL. I wish we could travel. No, the local show across town will have to suffice.

You forgot to include the free tail gate sale and Auction at Norm Hecklers on Saturday, Oct 9th the day before Keene - it's makes it one heck of a bottle overload weekend. Check out the picture of last year on Norm's site. http://www.hecklerauction.com/ColumbusDay.htm

For anyone who's been before you know what to expect for those who haven't well you're missing out on a really good time. Each year it seems to grow and a lot of stuff disappears here before it ever makes it to the Keene show. There's free donuts, hot dogs, home made chowda, cider, coffee and soft drinks.

The bell is rung at 9am and everyone drops their tail gates and start selling like crazy. You'll see people making mad dashes from one end of the field to the other, I believe there was about 100 dealers set up in the field last year. At 11am there's the Country Barn auction with Norm as the auctioneer. The shop is also open so you can inspect the current catalog auction items - it's nice to be able to check them out in person []

THE YEAR I WENT[10 YEARS AGO? CAN'T REMEMBER] THERE WERE ALSO MOSTLY CIVIL WAR STUFF...BUT I SAW THE GREATEST BOTTLE I HAVE EVER SEEN THERE...ACATHEDRAL PICKLE THAT WAS MAYBE THREE GALLEONS? MINT,VERY ORNATE...THE PERSON SAID HE HAD BEEN OFFERED $7,000 FOR IT AND TURNED IT DOWN...SAID HE ONLY BOUGHT IT TO SHOW.[WHAT AQ RISK!!] MAN THE ONE TIME I WISH I WAS RICH!! ALSO I WANTED TO BUY A COMMON JOHN RYAN 1866 BOTTLE..THOUGH EVERY TABLE HAD SOME NONE WOULD COME DOWN ON THE PRICE EXCEPT ONE PERSON AND THEN ONLY $5!
