What a fun show. Had a really good time. The swap meet had lots of bargains to be had, found the two kits I was looking for. Thanks to the entire show staff for making us feel so welcome. I also want to Think Danno, and " the gal that lets him hang out with her" for being such welcoming hosts. It's always a pleasure to see you guys. You're the best! Brad, Great to see you, and thanks for the name tags, it was nice to put a face to the names of the other board members I hadn't previously met. John T. and Chris, sorry we didn't get to visit much, but it was great to see you both. Oh!, and count me in for next year!

Soooo - How many days left until the show?

I gotta get back over there for this one.

Thanks John, all is good. Danno, I was looking forward to you coming to the show. we tried real hard but it just wasn't in the cards. But where one door closes, another opens (stay tuned) See you in April.

It is with deep regret that we are announcing The Citrus Nationals has been cancelled and will not be returning. Thanks to all who have supported this show in the past.

I remember that, it never failed the shows were on the same weekend. I was almost to the point where I was going to call Goodguys and tell them they needed to change their date - But it all worked out. See ya in April.

Danno, We are looking forward to you coming over, it will be fun to be your host finally - We'd be thrilled to have you.

In response to all the local builders who have been asking when the show return, we are pleased to announce that The Citrus Nationals is returning on May 14th, 2016. Response to the news this show returning has been overwhelming. Please come out for some fun. We are looking forward to the revival of this event and seeing all the friends we have made over the years again. Visit the web site, or like us on Facebook. See you in May.

Well I would Hope you can make it to the Desert Scale Classic. Besides, it wouldn't be the same.

Thanks Dan, Would have been great to have you, maybe next year. But then there is always April!

Sorry to hear that. We will try to get some pics posted of both the Model Contest and 1:1's, not quite the same as being there, but it should give you a good sample of what shows up.

Yep, I see a few familiar faces in there. I'm not missing this show, always a good time.

Danno, Please shoot me a copy of that list. Already making plans for April.

Last bump - The show is tomorrow.

Bump. Only a week a way, I think it's gonna be a good time. Come on out and support this show AND the museum.

Bump. There is also a really good 1:1 car show and cruise. Lots of great cars, and it's for a great cause also.

Hope you can make it.

I really do apologize. Looking back, I guess I should have spent more effort in making sure the correct date was posted more clearly. Please note the date for next year - The Model Contest will be the 3rd Saturday, September 17th 2016. Here are a couple of links for some pictures - http://public.fotki.com/JTH109/2015-route-66-reuni/ http://public.fotki.com/AlbertWallace/showswap_meet/2015-route-66-cruis/ http://public.fotki.com/daviddale/route-66/ Please mark you calendar for next year and ask for me. I'd like to meet you and apologize in person.

The show was yesterday. Hope you didn't go by the 1st post, those dates were not correct for the whole event. (that's why I posted an update on Friday). I also posted the correct date on June 19th on this tread. Sorry for the confusion.

Bump. Tomorrow is the day.

Art, Sent you a PM.

Looking for vendors now. Thanks for askng.

Definitely not missing this one!
