Does anyone know the Fairgrounds and where it would be best to meet? Also, it is a two day show, which day would be best?

 

i know the fairgrounds. sunday is best but the good stuff at the swap meet is gone sat. best place to meet would be at the vintage tractor display near the 4H animal buildings. its near the rear gate and is close to the midway. if you park in the front by the horse track you may have a decent walk. the rear gate is best.

Have fun at the car show. I went to the Goodguys show up in Spokane, Wa last August and there were a bunch of nice looking rides.

 

Crap, the kids are on spring break that ends that weekend. Got plans to be out of town then. If plans change, I'll be there, but it doesn't look good right now. I'd really like to schmooze with y'all, but grandma would be pissed, if you know what I mean. I'll try to catch the next one, for sure.

I will be there on Sunday!

 

Well like I stated in our chat session the other day I don't like driving the bay area so unless I carpool I probably won't go.

Lets set the date for Sunday 26 Aug at 11 AM. As gashog suggested the place to meet is at the vintage tractor display near the 4H animal buildings. Its near the rear gate and is close to the midway. Best to park near and use the rear gate.

Please post if you are going to be there so we know whom to expect. If you get lost or need to contact us, my cell phone number is 559-970-1131. JD will be riding with me and he can navigate so I will not get lost myself.

 

Not sure if I can make Sunday, I have plans for Saturday to head there.

Then again if I see something I have to bring a truck back for....

 

I wish I could attend and meet you all. Since some people in here think I am some dude!

I am going to Arizona for Spring Training to watch the Athletics. I am so excited. Next time there is an event near me, I will attend.

Have you all......

Have Fun BBB, I have heard that Spring Training is really fun!

 

I am also going to be there Saturday. I went on Sunday once and the swap meet portion was tiny. I'm looking for a mid-fifties Ford convertable for the wife and truck parts for me. Maybe I'll meet some of you at the Micke Grove Meet in Lodi on 4/9/06. Jag
