rmaynard 15,453 #1 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) [sharedmedia=finalCountdown:countdown:1] Today is February 9th. There are only 136 days left until setup day at the fairgrounds. Will you be there? What day will you be there and how long are you staying? Are you staying in a Hotel/Motel or camping? Will you be displaying, selling, or both? If you are selling, what are you bringing? If you are buying, what are you looking for? Personally, I will be there on Thursday morning. I will be camping. I hope to be setting up on the usual corner under my RED canopy. I will be both displaying, and selling a few things. I should have replacement brake liners, 9-pin connector kits, and lug bolt to lug nut conversion kits. As far as what I will be looking for, my list includes a front end loader to fit on my 416-H, and a mid-mount grader blade.

nylyon-(Admin) 7,275 #4 Posted February 9, 2015 I had such a great time last year (with the exception of my daughter being sick the whole time) and I was REALLY looking forward to going again this year for more live action filming, hanging out at the campfire (and getting there earlier) and all BUT my oldest graduates High School that Saturday, so I will be attending the graduation. I hope all have a fantastic time, and hope to see you in 2016 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,076 #5 Posted February 9, 2015 We'll roll into town Thursday and might have time to hit the fairgrounds that afternoon. Staying in a hotel in Chambersburg through the weekend. Not bringing anything. I'll be looking for a few things mainly for my Suburban. Really looking forward to meeting the folks and seeing all the cool eye candy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,500 #7 Posted February 9, 2015 I will be there Monday before the show staying in Chambersburg. Sightseeing the week through ( any suggestions? )and then will see if I can make it on Thursday. Definitely will be there Friday and Saturday. Not really looking for much as I have no idea what I need. Just wanting to hang out. No tractor this year. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,453 #9 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) @Nylyon - Karl, thanks for the countdown clock. Sorry you can't make it, but family MUST take precident over hobby. I will miss the live feeds and all the other shenanigans. @19richie66 - There is so much to see and do around the Gettysburg area. If you are driving, you can get an auto tour. Just to let you know how old I am, the last time I did the tour it was on cassette tape I think it's digital now. You can drive the battlefield at your leisure. There are also guided tours and tour buses. At night you and the family will want to take a ghost walk. Not too far away is Antietem Battlefield. Not as commercialized as Gettysburg. Since I have always lived only 35 minutes from Gettysburg, it's just another spot on the map for me. It stopped being a tourist attraction and became the place where we shop and go to the movies. My suggestion is to Google "things to see and do around Gettysburg". Edited February 9, 2015 by rmaynard 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the moment I don't have a wish list and I have thinned down the herd and the parts over the last 3 years so probably nuttin to sell either.

Fun Engineer 859 #20 Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Plan to be there Thursday morning. Camping under the trees with a great bunch of RS folks. Will have a tractor or two to display hopefully between Maynard and VINYLGUY again. Don't know if I'll have anything to sell. Currently the only thing on my wish list is a pair of 6x12 rims and a Ranger L-157 snow plow. Today it's another below zero morning with no new snow [emoji30]. I can't wait for June. [emoji2].

cruisnblue48 835 #24 Posted February 20, 2015 Since I live about an hour drive east of the fairgrounds, I will probably arrive very early Friday morning and leaving on Saturday at the end of the show. Bringing four or five tractors to show.. RJ35, 502, C120 Wildfire puller, recently acquired 520H, and maybe my 551 hot rod tractor if i can get it finished by then. Not looking to buy anything in particular as my sheds are full but will be browsing for good parts deals. Had a lot of fun last year showing my tractors there for the first time. Looking forward to the 2015 WHCC show. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeek 2,286 #25 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) I'll be there Thursday morning and camping. Plan to depart sometime late Saturday afternoon. I have some new recruits that came last year and are camping again this year as well. His son is hooked and has about 8 now. I'll be under the red canopy near Bob and Brian as usual. I'll have my FINALLY FINISHED Raider 12, Cheesegrater and maybe a 552 or 1276 Probably looking for some parts for the 1276 like a seat, hood ornament . . .
