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
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

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

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.

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.
Thanks, Phil _________________________________________________ Looking for any old pumps, or nice 5 gallon cans.

...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...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...
