The May Brimfield starts next week, does anyone know if and where the Petroliana might be? I've never been, I reached out to the organizer to see if there was a specific area, which thee isn't. I'm only interested in signs, and trying to decide if its worth bothering to go. I sadly don't have the time to take on the whole show, so would need a focus to justify making the trip.

off the main road take a right, or a left depending on which way you came in, at the 3rd field, wait maybe the fifth, then walk about 460 paces and look to the ground under the table.
Joking aside thats about what you have to do, go there and walk and hope your the first of the 650 guys there looking for the same sign. They could be scattered anywhere.

I go every year - it's definitely a mix so you need a whole day to see it all. Shaun are you there just Tuesday?

I lived in Ma. for fifteen years. Before I moved to Va. I went to Brimfield, I only had an hour to look. Now I drive seven hundred miles every year to go to this show. At first I only caught the shows, late in the week because I was working, now I go early. Over the weekend before Brimfield there is a flea market on Rt. 20w toward Palmer and yard sales as well.
I like the first two shows on Tuesday the most then the Mayfair show later in the week. The stuff is there but you have to find it but that is what makes this hobby fun. The people and the hunt !!! Here is some of the petro I will have. Come find some treasures and ask questions, others will tell you where to look.

I show up about 6 am. to get a good parking space. The show is made up of many shows. Some shows are open from Tuesday thru Sunday, like Central Park. Others are only open for a few hours then people are packing up and some moving to other shows. As a whole the individual shows work there way down Rt.20 from West to East with others open all the time.

Thank you everyone for the insight. Well my reality is, it's a 4 hour round trip, with my work, and life, I would have only one day. The "week" is not happening. Give me a break !!!!!! You live in Ma. Go and explore and enjoy the week. .

Tuesday is the best day to see the most fresh "STUFF".. Each day another field or two opens but quite a bit of the dealers are recycled from fields that are just "one day" events...I will only be selling on Tuesday...after that I'll be shopping like the rest of you!!...The weather looks fantastic!!....C-MON SUN!!

There is more to Brimfield ! Went to a flea market down the road on the way over to Brimfield. Several of the dealers that are set up will move down the road for Tuesday when the show opens. Some of the things I saw today.

To the east of Brimfield I have a friend that has a shop. I always go by to see what is new. He has a very quirky taste in things that I like. I have bought many things from him over the years.

I am enjoying being able to walk for the past few weeks. The first three months of this year I had lots of pain in my feet from gout and a fall off a ladder. It was very painful to get around. I have a hard time sitting around the house.

It is good to hear you are feeling better. Thank you for taking the time to post so many photos. As one who hasn't had the opportunity to get to a big show I love seeing the variety of things out there, even if I can't buy them! Get well.

60 Wayne, again great pictures, wish I was with you. That street light with the big square base, could it have been a street clock base ? What was the price if I could ask? Looking for a four sided street clock, that is why.
Thanks

Walked around with a fellow Virginian and collector for awhile. It was his first time to Brimfield. He was checking out the Texaco sign. I bought one of the two Truck Caster signs.
