Thanks Bob, your the man !!!

In a nut shell, Dixie Gas is the funnest show in my opinion...... it has the coolest people, there is space there to stretch out and spread out. Everybody is laid back and just as nice as they can be. This show is something you need to attend if you have not done so yet..... this show needs to grow and remain strong, so plan on supporting it this Spring. Thanks again Flohe's for a awesome time and experience !!!!!! Dixie Gas Rocks !!!

I think I need to clarify Dave's statement about "mouth wide open". After staying up till 1:00 a.m. Thursday posting pictures on Old Gas and getting 5:00 a.m. wake up call, and all that treasure hunting in 90 degree weather I sat down in my booth about 4:00 p.m. in front of a fan. It took about five minutes for me to be out like a light. Dave walks into my booth, reinspects the Pan Am globe and then stuffs the money in my hand. I was out! Imagine waking up from a stone dead sleep to see a BBQ CHICKEN complete with Hoss Cartwright hat standing in front of you! YIKES!!!
I never knew until Thursday why Dave's handle was BBQ Chicken. Now I know! Man was that chicken ever good!!
Dave's right, Dixie Gas is laid back and a great show to attend. If you haven't been, you got to come. It's also same week as Shades Of The Past street rod show. There's Gatlinburg too! I always look forward to seeing all my gas and oil buddies!! Pat.

Too cool. Thanks for sharing.

BBQ chicken Rocks! Some of the best chicken I have ever eaten. I agree with all the above post, that Dixie is one of the best, laid-back, shows to attend. If you have never been, GO!!! Thanks for the chicken Dave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting the Pics.
Great stuff!

Thanks for posting the photos, looks like everyone had a great time and the chicken looks good. jack

Looks like a great time. Man that chicken does look good.

Some more "colorful" shots of Dixie and some stuff I picked up....... I miss Dixie, that was a good one !!! Thanks Chip and everyone involoved ! Dave

I do several shows a year. Chip's Spring and Fall shows are my favorites. You will not find a friendlier bunch of folks. Everyone has a GREAT TIME! Dave really outdid himself with the chicken. It was the best I've ever eaten. I appreciated it too! That group from Raleigh/Durham are tough to keep up with.....way too much energy.....makes an old guy like me tired just watching. Thanks Dave.....You are "special".....maybe that explains the "short bus" you and I used to ride??? LOL... Paul

Has anyone ever seen this Betholine/Richfield sign before?

Dang, I hate that I missed the show this year and hanging with my buds. But I sure do appreciate all the fine Sunoco items you brought home for me, (thanks for delivering gulfiend!). Must say, I had a pretty good show for not being there, I did miss out on the finger lick'n chicken though.
