Today we stopped by Ron's booth as well as several thousand other booths, and boy are the feet hurting .. Lots of good stuff, some priced ok, but most over priced. Have found a few items. My friend Art Redford has found several nice porcelain signs.(Alemite, double signed porc, a Beacon 30"double porc, a nice 8.5+). Tomorrow should be a good day. Forgot my camera, so this is all I can do. Hopefully some of the other guys can post some more pic,s. All for now.

Show is one of best ever.
Sign vendors doing great - weather is sunny and 60's-70's daytime temperature - admission is totally FREE to shoppers and customers (Carlisle was $9/day).
Big auction tonight at 5pm and Sat at 2pm for very rare autos and trucks - should be exciting to watch and (as Doc says) drool. Auction is also FREE.
The price is right at Hershey.
Will try to remember to get a couple of photos of oveview of swap, but if you haven't been to Hershey, think of the largest swap you've ever attended, and vision something 2-5 times larger. You can walk down the center of isles without stopping from 8-5pm and you can't walk the entire show - it's to large.
Sat is also the AACA car show, so the best of the best cars of all types, will be displayed on Sat for show and judging.

If anyone wanted fully restored script tops, I saw five of them in the lower grass field. Absolutely perfect. $2100 each. I spent all day Wed and all day Thursday, wish I had a deeper wallet. Brady

I THINK I AM GOING TO CHANGE MY AGENDA THIS COMING YEAR....CARLISLE IN THE SPRING AND HERSHEY IN THE FALL! I HEAR HERSHEY HAS IMPROVED IN 4 YEARS AND YES (LIKE RON SAYS) IT'S FREE!
NO GATES AND NO FENCES!

THANKS FOR THE UPDATES, BOYS!

DOC @ TAG/WEST

Lots of sunshine and 70's temperatures - the weather has cooperated at Hershey.

We had 6 people from Antique Road Show in our space for almost an hour ths morning, taping for an upcoming new show - I believe they called it "Antique Road Show FYI". They attracted a sizable group of observers.
When finished, I sent them to John Mancino and Ron Evan's booths down the next isle, and later confirmed they taped at both locations. Hope their show brings a little more attention to our hobby.

Auction this evening had a few "No Reserve" bargain selling prices on the cars. It will be interesting to see how prices hold up tomorrow.

Just returned home from Hershey.
Noticed in the brochere that AACA estimated 9,200 swap spaces for fall meet. This does not include car corral or car show and judging.
