Jeff Wolf had talked with Tom the other day and the Fair Grounds was bad! I don't think Tom sold anything there. He told Jeff, he was hoping for better luck at the show. I did see something Cool, going down the road. This was entering Maryland, on interstate 81. Don't see this everyday. Curtis, Memorylane Restorations.

I stopped by, after shopping wife the wife yesterday, and the weather was as gloomy as the show.  I did not go inside, $50.00 prevue is to steep for me.  But in the parking lot there was nothing that striked my fancy. 

They didn't even have the nut vender in the loby.  I figured at least I would walk away with some delicious coated pecans and cashews.

         Curtis, is that a diner being transported?   
         It must be 12 feet wide, and no oversize flags?

Wow it not every day you see a dinner going down the road,  Curtis did you get a chance to see if they did take out  laugh laugh Sorry that was bad.
They probably had the chase car's  with them one following him and one out front.

 Well I'm glad I'm holding out for Nov. , Hope PinBall at the Zoo is worth going  oh.

There was a chase car, one in front and back. I just though it was cool to see. I wish it was going near my house. Some town will be lucky.

I went Saturday.  There were a lot more people there than I thought would be there (sunny, temps in the upper 60's).  Not much outside and not many soda machines/parts.  There were a lot more records and slot machines.  There were also a number of new vendors there, which was refreshing - not the same ole stuff over and over again.  I picked up a Coke sign (I'll post pics later) some sheets of blank title strips and some bottle openers (Hamms and Schlitz).  Not bad for a little under $50.
