Anyone have any pics from this show?
If so, please post them up but maybe in a new thread.

I've been going to Peotone from day one and it is always a great show for me. Selling, buying and seeing old friends. I have only missed two shows, one because of my wife's medical issue and this one because of the weather forecast. But one show does not make it the standard, so if it was a bad show it was not because of Tim, Kevin or venders, and this holds true to all shows. They are all a ***** shoot and you have to take what you get and just freaking deal with it. I'll be back this fall and will have a great show!

Phils Gas Station Memorabilia.

I go every spring and fall, and enjoy every one of these shows.
I'm very careful with what I spend, and I came home with my truck loaded to the roof, and no room in the box either?
Its going to take me all day to unload everything, but I'll enjoy it immensely!
Too bad so many vendors were unable to attend, but I bought all I could handle anyway!

You sure did!!! Buy alot

Gr8signs- Lots of guys seem to think they are the only ones entitled to bring a pile of money making items home with them.Not trying to be combative but I feel the need to reply to your post -bashing shows.A Gas and Oil show isnt the best place to find gas and oil stuff for resale or a quick flip. It can be done but really if you expect others to do all your work for you might/most likely will be disappointed. If its so easy to find this stuff and then do all the work to set up ,pay the promoters for booth space ect. ect. Maybe you should do that. Cherry picking is tough these days. Shows arent geared towards flippers ,so you are probably right not to go back and waste your time. I go to a few shows each year and usually bring back some nice stuff-for my COLLECTION- with out overpaying. And believe me- my money is hard earned and I cant afford to just throw it around. I'm sure you know this, but its just like hunting-you dont always bring home trophies but you have to get off the main path if you want to find special deals.

I called a few collectors that I know on this site about Peotone. It's one of the few shows that I have yet to make. Weather was the reason I didn't go. Had a gig last Friday that I would have cancelled but stayed and made a few bucks. Sorry Greg and Tom. Did Henry make it? See ya in Iowa...gotta luv the steaks!

Johnnies Italian Steakhouse and that little Cajun place that's just a few blocks away!! Great places to eat at the IG!

Have we got the impromptu Iowa Gas band on standby yet? Sounded like a few guys were willing when it was mentioned last!!!

Sure Kevin. Johnny's for steaks.Hard to break a tradition going on 10 years. Blacked 12 oz Ribeye for me. New York Strip for my roomie, Greg (Bustermonty) 27 oz. Porterhouse for Maurice (souperhigh), Ric (Ducecoup) 12 oz ribeye, Tom (Tom collectze) Filet and shrimp, Ray (hotcider) 12 oz ribeye, I have this memorized ... you buying Kevin? . Sorry but no Cajun for me. I just left Louisiana and I'm going to eat Cajun? Iowa aged heavy beef for me.. 10 years running. Oh! were getting the band back together? Just meet up in Da Shade. From our gig last Friday before Mardi Gras weekend.
