Does anyone know how late the show will go Thurs and Friday. I can't leave home till 11 am fri and will take about 2& 1/2 hours to get there. Do you think that would be too late on friday ?

No. Usually the vendors wait until about 2-3 PM to start getting out on Friday. Thursday- most everyone is there until 5-6 PM. Right now I plan to stay over until Saturday, so I'll probably be there until that time on Friday. We'll just have to see. Anything in particular that you are looking for?...Dale

I've been trying to find time to attend,but it doesn't look good.
If anyone sees any 1qt. Sunoco/DX Yellow Dynalube or Sunoco/DX Gold Special oil cans,or an A.O.Smith L-505 gas pump,please relay the detailed contact info & pics if possible.

Rick with LeBaron sign restoration here. This will be my first year going, I planned on getting in on wed, staying thurs, and leaving some time fri afternoon. If anyone has any signs to be restored bring em down and we'll fix em up.

Here's what's amazing......after hearing Dave play last September.....he mentioned, if I remember correctly, that he's never had a lesson! It's well worth the price of admission.... Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Heading down tomorrow morning, looking forward to meeting some of you who I haven't met before. I'll probably have a Front Range Gas Bash t-shirt on one of the days. Say hey if you see me!

Well it rained for the first half of the day. Nothing super rare seemed to turn up except the Metro Gasoline sign. It was painted tin,double sided. Back side was completely gone. I was asleep and didn't buy it. It sold for $100.00 and later sold for $400.00. Vendor turnout seemed light for today. Don't know if rain kept people away. Will try and get more pictures tomorrow. Pat.

Thanks for the pics Pat. I sure wish I'd have been there for the Metro sign.

does anyone know who had the linco sign and how much they were asking for it? thanks.

Where do you see the Linco sign? Which picture?Pat.

i went to puregas images and it is about 35 pictures from the last one.

Thanks for the pictures, Pat. You came through for us again!

Would love to come to dixie but why is every one gone by saturday?

Because as with most shows, vendors and buying public are there by Wednesday morning and vendors have sold most of there items by Thursday afternoon. Tomorrow is good for about half a day. This has been going on for as long as I can remember. Promoters have tried everything to get people to stay and it just doesn't happen. I use to stay through Saturday but it's just not worth it anymore:expense of another night in hotel,meals,time away from family. It's a fact that majority of die hards are going to get to show early. Unfortunately for those that can't get there early, there just isn't going to be much happening Friday and Saturday.Pat.

Likeitall,Pictures of Linco sign are probably from an old swap meet.

Thanks for posting this years show pics..much appreciated.

If you want to make it a Sat show... then change it to Sat and Sun show. Then they will show up on Fri, and it will be a Sat show then guys will leave on Sun before noon. LOL Laughing but you know it's true!

jarvis what a great idea. It works for peatone too. why not Iowa gas? That show is over thursday at noon.

Promoters need time to unwind, before they return to work on Monday.
A lot of Vendors/buyers need to be back @ work on Monday. It takes me approx. 30 hours of steady driving to return home after Iowa Gas.

True Dick but then you don't have to leave a week before the show really starts. LOL

Well I got back from Chips about four this morning and I will tell you it was a great show! Well worth the 14 hour drive one way. I honestly think that there was more foot traffic and buyers than there was at Columbus. I was going to stay till Saturday but there was a major threat of rain. We all know what its like to pack in the rain. I did hear that it rained all night and into this morning. Anybody who is thinking of going to this show should check it out.

Since I am a little closer than John, I got home around midnight. We both left at around three P.M. on Friday. These have to be my favorite show's....I do both Spring and Fall....of any that I do. The setting is perfect. Chip and Happy are great hosts. Vendors are friendly and crowds good. Very laid back and a bunch of fun. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

This show has always been great for me in selling and buying. I also left around three on Friday evening. I had planned to stay over for Saturday this year, but the threat of the above mentioned rain had me driving south. Only about a three hour drive for me, though. Could not ask for a better show or hosts....Dale

We also had a good show and John was right there was a lot of foot traffic .We did stay over with the intent to set up on Saturday but were rained out early. AS usual a BIG THANKS to Chip and his family for a great show Lenny

It wasm a great show again and sales were great. Bought some good stuff and sold alot also.
Dave Hathaway again made his famous Bar B Q chicken and it was great.
Seen alot of friends and met some new ones.
Next year I am adding the spring show to my agenda.
Thanks Chip and your family.
Also the homemade ice cream really does hit the spot.

Maurice

had a great time, my wife and I rode our harley down from ohio, seen alot of old friends and alot of nice items. Does anyone know who had the cigar thermometer? And if so how could I contact him. thanks and see you all the next time.
bob and marcy

Easy to say, The only show I know of that can pull this off is at Peotone which has a chained enclosure and nowhere to go other than just wait. All sounds good but we are a very creative croud and thats what it's all about.

It was a great show and saw alot of oldgassers. I thought it was one of the best shows I have been too, alot of vendors and foot traffic. We got home this afternoon and had a great weekend, hope all else did also.

I had a good time also with it being my first fall show. Sorry I missed ya Phil. We had a good vacation and Dixie Gas included in there might make it a family tradition!

Brian

We had a great time down there, got to meet a lot of oldgassers and had some great chicken from gracious host Dave (BBQ Chicken on here). Looking forward to next year!

...enjoyed meeting Chris and Brady (thanks again for the tip), talking to Phil, and meeting Grabber...Dave's chicken is the best chicken-on-the-bone I have ever eaten, bar none...even the bookend rain didn't spoil the show...
