I have been to Iowa Gas only once and thought it was a good show. Chip's Dixie Gas is my favorite and when I can be there, I abide by his rules. They are for the benefit of the public. I was at Chip's a couple of years ago and it was the day before we could open. I was looking through his barns and found some parts that I needed. I drug them out to Happy, his Dad, who sternly told me that I couldn't sell that stuff....I was a day too early! When I told him that it was Chip's and I just wanted to pay for it.....he said..." that's OK then." LOL! The very best show of the year in the Fall AACA show at Hershey, Pa. Oct.5-8. There are 9000 vendors who set up on Tuesday morning and most stay until Saturday morning. With this many sellers, no-one should complain about not seeing the stuff they came for. The show is open from 8 A.M. until 5 P.M. on those days. Paul www.severngaspumps.com
