wallfish 17,079 #1 Posted March 29, 2015 Always seems to be one of the best shows of the year with lots to see and do. This year's spring show is a gathering for the Allis Chalmers collectors and appears they added a friday to the dates as well. Usually done on just Sat & Sun with Sat being the better day but you never know. It should be a pretty big spring show this year! Here's the flyer link http://www.qvea.org/resources/spring-show-flyer-2015.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Although i'm sure Steve may be there on Friday too). I'm looking for a nice Hit and Miss engine so I'm goin' cash heavy! It's amazing what those things go for nowadays. We had the AC National show at our local Steam Pageant 2 yrs. ago. Awesome turnout! Edited March 29, 2015 by squonk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm looking for a nice Hit and Miss engine so I'm goin' cash heavy! Don't kid yourself, I can take off whatever day I want. With that said maybe I'll go up Friday AM and camp out over night... Matt is a Ninja, he may be there snaggin all the deals and you'll never know it.. Vin, that guy can spot something from a mile away and jumps in trailers as they are pullin in to claim something..

wallfish 17,079 #12 Posted March 31, 2015 We need to get a fishing derby together one of these days. Looks like a non resident license for 3 days in CT is $22, not too bad. It's $23.50 up here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brianc423 9 #14 Posted April 22, 2015 Its such a looooooooong 5 minute drive into the center of town for me, but I suppose I could make it there on Saturday and maybe even Sunday too. Correct me if I am wrong, Zagray is one of the bigger (the biggest?) shows in CT....Though I have been told Kent, CT show is a pretty good size, never been to Kent myself, however. --Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,351 #16 Posted April 22, 2015 I will be there on Saturday for sure with my sidekick Brennan! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 1,022 #17 Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Also, where does it say it is a 3 day show? flyer still says its May 2-3 Says right here on their homepage: http://www.qvea.org In the yellow lettering unless it's a typo. May be because right below that it says 2nd and 3rd. Don't know for sure Edited April 22, 2015 by fireman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coadster32 793 #21 Posted April 23, 2015 Planning on being there on Saturday with my son David. Have to pass on Belltown though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,079 #22 Posted April 30, 2015 Weather looks OK so far. I plan to be there around 6 am to try and get a decent spot in the active mix of the display area. Already loaded except a few things. I was loaded for the Belltown show but couldn't go. Bringing a 401 to cruise around and will display a bunch of Homelite and O&R 2 stroke powered tools.

Coadster32 793 #23 Posted April 30, 2015 I'm shooting for getting there around 8. Daughter is jumping on board as well. After working on the pedal last weekend, she doesn't want to miss out. (They've both been riding every day after school this week, and both are pumped up). I couldn't be happier. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brianc423 9 #24 Posted April 30, 2015 I won't be there till Saturday and hopefully Sunday too....not sure what tractor I will end up bringing...my trailer only can fit one tractor at a time .... Though I suppose that, as one of them won't start, I will probably bring the one that will. 😎 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
