Handy Don 12,201 #27 Posted March 13, 2022 I'd especially remember to think in advance of parts etc. you are are looking to buy and make notes of sizes, model numbers, etc. for compatibility to bring with you. Seeing so many WHs and so many parts can be bewildering, tempting, and overpowering. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoL Bought an engine one year just for the cardboard sign the guy had tagged on it, because it was funny "Ran at one time" --- A new take on the- Ran when parked Took it out of the hidden spot way back in the vendor barns and put it out on the road in front of our spot. Quite the conversation piece as most people were laughing to. It sold for the same thing I paid for it. It was an old 7hp Kohler but it still had plenty of useful parts on it. 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And also, can you enter on Thursday if you are staying off-site ? Pretty sure the camping opens early on Thursday morning and you don't have to be a vendor. Last year I arrived Thursday afternoon and was able to go in. I stayed in a hotel in Gettysburg Thurs-Sat. I gladly paid for WHCC dues and bought some raffle tickets (which I gave away since I had to be on the road home Saturday morning) and patronized the food stand to be sure I was supporting the show. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,829 #37 Posted March 14, 2022 They have a VERY strict entry plan for Thursday setup time. I believe it’s 9am. Nobody is allowed past the staging area until they check in. It seems like a goat screw for about 3 minutes, then you can turn around and look and wonder what all the fiasco was about because it is all good. 2 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cee245 818 #40 Posted March 14, 2022 Good point @Pullstart I used to think the big show was put on by red square etc, when in fact it's the whcc's show. I figure it's me vs me there, not us vs them. I'd be happy to be in both. 🙂 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This isn’t an us vs. them post… just a respectful reminder that I’m glad to attend their show Thank you @Pullstart for stating that … I was aware that the WHCC sponsored the show, and I agree that we are guests of the show. I have the same sentiment that the organizers are being very hospitable in their view of Redsquare members attendance. I was not aware that they look at Redsquare members as attending as a group (if they look at it that way). Anyways, I really hope that I can attend this year, and am looking forward to meeting some of you guys and ladies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,829 #42 Posted March 14, 2022 As a supporting WHCC club member, I am part of both groups… but I just wanted to clarify it is the club’s show and many active WHCC leaders are not on RedSquare. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,813 #43 Posted March 14, 2022 Thursday set up is by far the best day to be there. @stevasaurus told me that my rookie year and he is right. Don't know if I'll make it yet due to diesel prices but I told @Achto to get some vacation and if we don't go we'll do some fishing. Am I right about needing to be a WHCC member to sell parts or does that just apply to the horse trading area? 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
