    $40.00 !!! Believe it that $40 can buy a lot at that show !! Surprised you don't vend there as close as it is and as cheap as spaces are Mr. Chevrolet? ....you can make a decent buck there for an actual 4 to 6 hours of selling time.

    Ranunculous isn't too picky on his beer, OR who where it comes from !! Although he's a big Straub fan and last Cumberland meet I brought him Coors Extra Gold...thought he died and went to heaven.
    I'll throw a couple can of swill in the cooler too and if he doesn't show we will raise them in his honor Mr Chevrolet

    Well thus far it looks like low 50's and sunny so should be a good turn out Stan and Flop....now if could only get them to bring money maybe we could make a buck !!
    I have no complaints...it's cheap for spaces and I live 5 miles from the fairgrounds so pretty tough to lose and honestly I do pretty well there vending. Same spaces since the 90's

    Bob hope weather holds out, I have been there during rain, snow, hot and cold but always good show. Always good people though even though a lot of them are only there to BS and not buy anything. Hopefully I will get to bottle up some homemade wine if it gets chilly.

    Now that sounds like a plan Stan....good hit of Blackberry always warms me up. Cold and damp in those buildings after being closed up all winter.
    I need to unload and reload the truck on Saturday as I don;t take alot of stuff down to the park....takes too long to unload and set up when I have a full load. Plus I have no other events after South Park until Carlisle so need to repack it tight to fit it all for Spring Carlisle.
    I'm right across from the stage in building one at the bottom of the hill, see you Sunday

    It's not the club running this events decision that all sales must be indoors. The Park commission will not allow any outdoor sales...they say it would lead to weekend flea markets wanting to move in.
    In any event Mike's right it gets a it nippy in the early morning..dress warm
    I'll be there to unload at 6:00 am to be set up ready to go at 8:00...the whole thing unwinds about 12:30 so come early before the goodies are all gone !!
     
  19. Not sure if I'm gonna make it or not.... Spent all my money on a motor today!

    well, I had a good time. bought a 32 grille shell from Tom (Flop),(thanks for the shirt) some susp. parts from Stan. and a couple other little things.
    I forgot about getting a doughnut, man that pissed me off. didn't see Ranuculos (sic), even had 2 non-alcoholic beers for him. went to talk to Bob, he was talkin to someone, went back to talk to Bob, he was talkin to someone else. walking out, I looked back, he was talkin to a different guy. I'm wavin' at you now Bob.
    not many guys had old car parts for sale, I guess the times, they are a-changin'.
