It's still a few weeks away, but who's planning to go? I'm definitely heading up there for the day.

For some reason I had thought this was two weeks away, not this weekend. I'll have to figure out if I can make this one

Looks like we aren't going to make this show.  Our son had emergency surgery yesterday and we need to hang around town.  Hope you all have fun.  It is a good show.  :)

I'm going to sit this one out too.  I haven't been feeling well the past few days.

Maybe your " better half" needs to put one of Mr Edison's "toys" under your sheets to boot you out of the sack in the mornings. ;)

Whatever, she was still in bed when I left!

Just got back home a little while ago. I don't think the cruise happened at all. I was only a few minutes late and figured I'd catch up with the rest of the group. Didn't see anyone the whole way down. And I didn't see anyone at the show either, until I ran into Bill Sauder. He says he made it to Wal-Mart at 7:40 and figured everyone had already left, so he went on to the show. Other than that, I don't think any club members actually showed up.

The show was nice this year, vendors seemed down from last year but there were plenty of cars and spectators. Around 1:30 PM local time, it showered pretty heavily. By 2:30, it was done but most people by then were packing up and heading home.
