March, March who is thinking about March. Actually I can't wait. It will be my third year in a row. Besides, I am sure Lenny has missed picking on me as much as I have him. John

I make it in 2 hours but I drive extremely fast. Besides at 3:00 AM who is around? LOL LOL I'd offer a ride but I vend and do not know if your willing to spend the day down there and the wife has said two years in a row that she would go with me (I only have a two seater), but at the last minute she has bowed out with my ok. Who knows this year (or is it next year LOL LOL). I keep telling her its so hard to vend alone and get time to walk around and shop... perhaps its her way of limiting my spending. (Not).
Anyway its a great show.

John So John are you an inside or outside vendor? I almost didn't want to unpack my car from the Mason-Dixon show since Metro Petro is only 7 days away, but i had to pick up a bunch of heavy stuff from Home Depot this morning! LOL!

Wayne, NJ 07470 Use Parish Drive or Taylor Road for mapquest, etc. Some mapsites do not recognize PAL Drive.
Have some new vendors this year who have not set up in the past coming from out of the area. They deal in signs, better old toys, plates, etc. Another vendor will have Sinclair stuff from 1964 NY Worlds Fair. Also a collector who is thinning out is taking three tables. Should be some interesting stuff turning up.
Looking for photos, etc from 60s era Shell-A-Rama gas station and Pal's Diner, Rt. 17 Mahwah, NJ & US or state highway signs, shields, route markers
