I am planning on going up on Thursday.
It will be my first time there. Is there a site where I can find directions and show info such as hours and admission price.
Thanks

How Chief,You will like this show,there is info under EVENTS you can find events on the main menu.Three or four $$$$ gets you in,Dixie gas is on Hwy.#411 off of Interstate 40 you can't miss it.C-U there Rex

I'll be making the four hour drive arriving late Wednesday afternoon to set up. I try to set up very close to Wayne Story and his "trailer of treasures". Attracts lots of foot traffic. Hope to meet all you guys there and have a BS session.

We have done Chip's show for a while and like the laid back nature. We arrive late Wednesday and set up usually on the hill. It takes us around 8 hours to get there from Maryland. We have a big white truck and set up a tent as it tends to be warm. Chip and his folks do great job in making everyone welcomed.

Thought I might mention that a few weeks ago, I was in Pa. and ran across some Wayne 60's. I tried to talk the old guy into selling them but to no avail. What I was able to get was a Wayne 60 Station Lighter. There were three there. One on each pump. I got one. Will have it mounted on a Wayne 60 at Chip's to see if there is enough interest in making them. They are really KOOL and make the pump 11.5 feet tall. You gotta see it!!!

Sounds really kewl! Please post an image for those of us that can't make it to the show.

Later . . .

Those station lighters are super looking, I Think they would look great on other pumps as well as the waynes, you are talking about the one that still allows you to use a 15" globe right? if you are e-mail me with prices . thanks Chris

I will be there with bells on my feet. Can't wait, I have not made a show all year so this is the one. Will bring some good stuff such as globes and signs. Look forward to seeing some friends and even a few "others" if you know what I mean. Chip puts on a fantastic show and it is well worth the drive. I will be coming from Memphis, Tn, about 400 miles.

Y'all better know I'm gonna be there! Wouldn't miss it for nothin!
Knowin' Chip, the new concrete will get poured Wed night(!)
I'll have the usual jun...er, uh "valuable collectibles"..........nah, junk's more accurate.
Look for me to arrive fashionably late Thurs morning. I'm the long-hair in the Cadillac pickup. I'll try to have enough rodeo pop to share with mi-amigos---stop and say hey.

For those interested, I will have pictures of the pump with the lighter mounted after Chip's show. This lighter mounts onto the top of the pumps that had no globe mount. They are tall and have a light assembly at the top with a shade to direct the light down onto the island. There is a fineal that secures the shade. No globe was used when this lighter was in place.

Well..it is about that time..can't sleep..can't wait till wed morn to leave to go to Chips....hope to see all at the show...
