Dooh! also a good Idea!  darn   biggrin   we ( Pat & I ) certainly made lots of contacts & passed out a bunch of business cards, tons more interest in the machine & the (related) hobby of soda machines & gas pumps and such, I saw a few sliders on the fairgrouns mixed in with the pumps, quite a nice lot of soda realated signage & Pat even scored a nice Coke button about 30" diameter. someone got to a nice Ideal 55 embossed 7up slider that was stickered over with pepsi decals, no rack, but it ran & went for $100,

Pat though, hey wouldn't be great to get some of us guys & gals together for a simular hobby/swap or maybe combine it with the Fowlerville show?

I know Pat went to the pre- show BBQ at the "Big Cheese's home the day before. & saw some other soda stuff pass hands.

Thanks Johnnie!

Not interested in the machine; but, it would have been fun to stop out and meet a few of the guys from the forum.  Maybe next time!  I am between Brighton and Pinckney so Fowlerville is in the neighborhood.

Sorry been trying to get cought up in the garage , Yes John is dead on we had a great time
met some great people and handed out alot of cards and sold some machines and bought
a big Coca Cola button (photo's  tomorrow)

   There were people from AZ , NM ,NY,WI, FL, OH, PA, IN & Canada  that came to this
show, I'm going to tell you I  was in AW  these guy were a great bunch.
I watched this Group of Gas guy and they all got along and having laughs and telling stores
and meeting each other for the first time, It was really cool.


 This made me think  we should be doing this , a BBQ at some one's home on a Friday or Saturday and the swap meet and show the next day (Saturday or Sunday) I Really think that this would bring this group a whole lot closer.
Just my thoughts and I have more on this also
Pat

 And seeing John's Cav 64 in person is alot better that the photo's can do it justice
and it would not surprise me if he did not sell it to someone he met today.

  I'll have photos of the show by Tuesday so they can be addred .

        Good work John and Pat!
        So yesterday was fun every where I guess! Garry and I took some stuff to
the flea market that comes to town once every 3 months.
        I filled and capped 3 cases of small Coke bottles and kept them covered with ice.
It was 90 degrees here on the coast.
        I would fill the unrestored 33 with 6 to 10 cold bottles at a time. Then if someone
was looking at the machines as a potential buyer, I would drop in a dime and vend them
out a cold pop. biggrin
       What fun they had, hear the bottle drop through the chute, feel the cold glass,
then share a swig of cold soda with the wife or kids and return the empty bottle to a
bottle rack. Passed out almost 100 buisness cards and made some great contacts,
comming home with only 4 full bottles and all but 1 of the empties.  happydrinkers
