THIS REPORT WAS FROM CHRIS THE LADY THAT WORKS HERE.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I'm going to try to give a full report on the show, but I'm still lacking a little sleep! Please forgive me

For all of you who didn't make it, we missed you!! We had another phenomenal show!! This one day show became a three day show, the party started on Friday with vendors kicking off the weekend The BBQ was a huge success, with great weather and lots of unforgettable memories......Of course Saturday was early set-up from 2:00 until 7:00, as I arrived at the grounds at 11:30, there were already a few excited vendors waiting for me. Meanwhile, the BBQ was kicking off on the Cheese Block!! The party lasted till the early morning hours. A great time was had by all

With only a few hours of sleep, it was time for the show. On Sunday I arrived at the gates at 6:00 a.m., there were several vehicles lined up on both sides of the road, waiting to get in and set up for the big day. Dawn worked both the BBQ and the Show, with little sleep, and never complained, what a great lady!! (I'm a little biased)

This was a great show for any collector, with lots of beautiful globes, signs, pumps, and cans, among other items. There were super buys everywhere and vendors were willing to dicker and deal The vendors reported great sales and lots of new contacts!!

As I came into work Monday morning, Cheese is crying about his "missing" garage items, the Bowser Pump, Marathon thermometer, Charm can, toy garage, Apex Pump, Air Whips, and many other items. I asked Cheese what he was going to do about the empty spots, he said he'd have them filled today!! I believe him, since this place is like a conveyor belt of gas and oil items, coming in and going out

Uh Oh, I gotta go, Cheese is yelling at me to go clean the fingerprints off his beloved Roman Column...how do you like that????? It was great meeting all of you, hope to see you in the fall!!!!!

OKAY, the Roman is printless, Cheese is happy.....I wanted to say a personal thank you to everyone. A special thanks to plateman (Tony) for all the help this weekend, couldn't have done it without you

The inside of Cheese's new building. It's like a everyday swapmeet. And this it after it was picked over for 3 days.
