Now we're talkin'!!! Your other location have been nice, but looking this up on Google maps, the Pompton Elks lodge is by far the best yet! What a river front view!
Its feeling like shades of the Oil City show, with such nice scenery!

Good oil cans don't wait for people, people wait for them.

Thanks Luke, yes it's more picturesque than the former place.
There's a launch nearby where you can drop a canoe or kayak and paddle the lake/Ramapo River down to the Pompton Falls.
Hope you guys can make it down again this year to the show.

I will be set up outside with mostly signs but a few odds and ends. I will have a pretty rare Coca Cola item, an original 11' tall sign...two 4' Coke buttons on an original pole.

I cant wait. I am currently organizing my stuff. I'm bringing a perfect red Pemco Island light and a sweet Town Talk Oil bottle from a small chain of stations in Michigan. These are kinda scarce. Also bringing some other oil bottles and my usual large supply of paper items (blotters, matchbook covers, post card) and smalls (water bibb, name badge/service pins, 1 lb grease cans, plastic car models and of course the last few remaining catalog racks). John
