Glad you had no mishaps and a safe trip!
Were you the only one selling soda machines? Did you sell any of them?

sold the glasso Slider and sold my candy machine did not sell that darn Cornelius alot  of people looking but no takers, over all  I did well on those. Tim sold a stoner Cigarette machine which was a hot item ,  and then put out a stoner  candy machine a lot people looked including Ray  :smile:  but no takers on that  and I think he did well.   John got there late  and did not sell a machine  , but went through a lot of business cards.

Pat,

Thanks for securing the booth space.  It was good to see Ray, Johnie and Johnie's son AJ.  I think that show would be worth the return trip.  The National Cigarette Machine got a lot of looks and a buyer as did all of the machines that we had there.  As much as I hate to say it, a lot of the people were mentioning that "I saw that machine on American Restoration" so I guess Resto-Rick isn't bad for business.  I am sure that Ray and I will swing a deal on the Stoner soon.

A lot of neat stuff on display and for sale at the event and it was an added treat to see so many nice Model A's.

 :drinking: Tim :drinking:

Hi Pat,

 It was a a good time hanging out with everyone. This show seems allot better then last year, I think the weather had allot to do with that. I always  learn allot from you guys.   Also, I'm man enough to say  you guys where right I should have taken the Stoner home at the time :down:......... My friend finally came through for me and will let me  use his pole barn to paint and work on it and the "war department" gave their OK as well after I showed  some pics on how it will looked painted.

Tim, I sent you an email.
