It's the 17-19th Marv. They delayed it a week a while back. Chance of rain next weekend too.
I'll be there Sat. afternoon; might stay overnight in the back of the Excursion.

Only 2 more to make.
That's a lotta 220 award lanterns. Each one get personalized with their names and years of service.
Various shades of Caterpillar yellow paint out there on the market.
Since, they're for show only, I replace the glass with mesh and stick a bag of unsold Scout microwave popcorn in the cage as a reminder of all the 'fun'.

I have found the mech "globes" to be a pretty darned good solution/alternative to pricey glass. I have a few myself. My "beater 220" still wears its cracked glass though. Its a good runner, makes a funny buzzing/spitting noise though.

I've had one lantern do this. Sometimes it'll stop once the pressure or temperature changes after its been running a while.
It's the cleaner rod and eccentric block that resonate. Put a SLIGHT bend near the bottom of the pricker rod, left or right of the hook. Just enough to put a little sideways pressure on it and the e-block.
