Nacho Z Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) There will be at least three of us heading up from WV. Jeff, Richard and Nate, I would like to meet you guys and put a face with the name. I will probably have a name tag on as I am helping a vendor. Best guess is I will have a gray Earnhardt sweatshirt on. Edited March 1, 2015 by Nacho Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.A.K Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Post some pics of todays show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 It was a pretty good show with some classes being a little light on entries due I guess to the snow. Only a couple of vendors didn't make it, probably for the same reason, I forgot to put new batteries in my digital camera so I couldn't get any pictures . It was great to meet a couple of Forum members there too. I got lucky and brought home some "gold" too. The roads actually weren't too bad with it snowing all day, just really very slushy. Congratulations to all the winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacho Z Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 It was good to finally meet you, Rich. And don't be so modest, you took home three People's Choice awards and a Best Of. I got to see your models first hand, and man-o-man, are they nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Thank you John. It was great meeting and speaking with you too....... and you didn't do too shabby in the awards dept. yourself. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N~8~Ball Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 I had a hard time getting there, But I had a great time too, The show seemed to go by fast for some reason. Since I'm a member of the club, I bought three "personal favorite" trophies to have handed out. I wasn't looking but, I always find something I want or like. This time I found a great deal on four Danbury mint tow trucks. I love these local shows !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
