Sparky-(Admin) 21,863 #1 Posted April 20, 2020 Hey all. Crummy news. WHCC just posted on Facebook that this years show has been cancelled. Going to leave this here in the main WH section for a few days, then I’ll move this post into the WH show section. I understand why....but I don’t have to like it 1 15 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adsm08 2,556 #14 Posted April 21, 2020 While I'm not surprised I am really disappointed. There were things I was going to be looking for there this summer. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,853 #15 Posted April 21, 2020 I see a couple road trips to pick up the things l've bought and was planning on getting them at the show. Oh well, next year, luckily I don't need a whole lot of supplies and parts at this time. I best make a list, my memory isn't that good 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The piece is on the south shore of Lake Erie, in NY. I was also going to look for a smaller horse as a project for my boy. He likes driving the 800Special, but it really is too big for him. Need a deck for that tractor too. Edited April 21, 2020 by adsm08 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheelhorse Wes 279 #21 Posted April 21, 2020 Crappy....our safety is number one why can’t we have it somewhere else? At a later date? It sucks cuz I have parts/engines bought and payed for I was supposed to pick up at the big show plus I have sold n received money from guys for stuff I’ve sold that is supposed to be picked up at the show Im probably not the only guy with this same issue. Stay safe everyone 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZXT 2,401 #23 Posted April 21, 2020 I had a bit of money set aside to make the trip this year. Not sure if I would've actually been able to make it, but I certainly would've liked to.. Looks like I might need that money to live on if this virus keeps it up! There's always next year I guess! 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOB ELLISON 2,981 #25 Posted April 21, 2020 I dont like it either but I really do agree with them canceling it. I was going to bring my wife for our 50th Anniversary. Here in Michigan it's bad all around me. I'm just south of Detroit where there hundreds are dying every day. I've been home for 6 weeks only went out 3 times. Our Governor has us in home until May 1st. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
