It is a contest where those that are attending (Spectators, Buyers and/or Sellers) are the people doing the voting for the different model classes. There is no inept judging, bias or favoritism. The people's votes are the ones that count toward winning a trophy. Club members are not permitted to enter the contest. -The club members will however have a table set up to show what we build and a club member present to provide information about the club if you would wish to join. The club table will be supervised at all times through-out the Expo. *For those wanting tables to sell their products, It is highly recommended that you put your deposit down as soon as possible as these tables usually are bought well in advance of the Expo.

DO NOT MISS THIS SHOOOOOOOOW!! :lol: I'll be there as usual, maybe the temperature will be above freezing at the start of the show so people know where to park this time around.

I live in Greensburg off 119 north.. Take care Yeah we're really not that far apart, I live off PA-51 out south of Rostraver. Greensburg seemed so far away from here as a kid, but then again so did Uniontown. I think in reality they're both the same distance away, but the Cinemark out at the Westmoreland Mall is 10x fancier than the ceiling falling in dump - don't ask what that sticky thing you just touched was - place in Uniontown.

Ramfins59 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Jon, according to the weather reports, the snow won't be starting until the Show is just about over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Zimmerman Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Got fingers crossed on that one; two hour drive home for me.....'Z' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Well it looks like Mother Nature is working against us today. The snow wasn't supposed to start until late in the day today, but I got up at 7 AM and it had already started, with a coating already on the ground. With predictions of up to a foot of the white stuff, and all the talk of road salt shortages, I decided that discretion was the better part of valor and decided against having my wife drive me to the Show. It wouldn't be a good thing to possibly get stuck either on the road somewhere or at the Show in Castle Shannon. I'm usually not an alarmist but feel I made the right decision. After all, it's only a model show and my world wouldn't end if I didn't go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacho Z Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) I'm right there with you Richard. There is usually a good showing from the guys from WV. The group that I am normally with decided not to make the trip due to the weather. We were just out to the Columbus show a couple of weekends ago and dealt with horrible roads and snow. While you are out on the roads like that you ask yourself "what the heck am I doing?" I think that the memory is fresh enough to make us cautious this time. I hope there is still a good turn out for the show. EDIT: About 30 minutes after the above post, my wife looked outside and it is sleeting outside hard. Glad I am sitting in my house and not on the interstate. Edited March 2, 2014 by Nacho Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffs396 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Sorry you guys didn't make it I made the trip, roads weren't TOO bad (being Sunday helped with traffic). Looked like a few vendors didn't show, and there were only a fraction of the builds there usually are on the contest tables. Got a few bargains though Edited March 2, 2014 by jeffs396 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf15 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Kathie and I made the trip , no problems . Not very many builds on the tables , picked up a few more kits and a couple of pieces that shocked even me for future projects ! Lol ! Always good to get out to see familiar faces and hang out with friends . Weather kept a lot of folks at home , definitely not worth the risk of an accident if one had to travel any distance ! As always a well run show . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Zimmerman Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I had planned to vend; weather kept me home too. Woke up to about 6" on the road, that was it for me....'Z' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramfins59 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm really kind of bummed that I didn't go. My wife said afterwards that she's sorry she didn't just say "Let's go anyway... if the roads are that bad we'll just turn around and go back home." Now I'm wishing that she had. Oh well, there's always next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSHWoodworks Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) It was a good show even if the turnout was light because of the snow, Here are my photos. https://www.facebook.com/doug.hinderliter.1/media_set?set=a.10153887922355046.1073741834.784475045&type=3 Edited March 4, 2014 by DSHWoodworks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, there's always next year. This one is coming up soon Rich, and it's not far for you. Went last year, not a bad little show. Not a lot of automotive entries, but a pretty good vendor area. See you there? http://tripms.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Sounds good Jeff. Seems like it's less than a half hour ride from me. How do they split up the cars, or do they "lump" them all together as "Civilian Vehicles"..?? I haven't attende an IPMS Show in a very long time.
