I'm packing ALL my prewar stuff right now, just sat down for rest.... hope'n I have the energy to dig out the large box of 6v headlamp bulbs in deep storage. Box of old door/window handles that have been in deep storage never been to a swap. Some old tools.

I have some early Packard jacks if any one needs one, IM me and I can bring some.

I'm told some vendors are onsite tonight, some arriving Thursday, and many including myself will be there early Friday at the crack of dawn...!!!

This new show surpassed my expectations this weekend...! There were some 25-30 vendors on the field. Located on the grounds of the local VFW the volunteers from the post were super nice and very suportive, and their pulled pork samiches were quite tasty. Local business was also very suportive as each vendor was given a pass ($26 value wow) to see the local cave and car museum in Luray. On Satruday people were walking around handing out doughnuts ( still warm freshly made ) that were as good as any doughnut you'll ever find. Tip to Dennis who's store makes the doughnuts... you better make more next year... and I'm preordering a dozen.

To quote one of the attendies: "This is a real show, no crap, all parts"

Hoping for a better crowd next year as attendance was very light. On the otherhand we the vendors made the effort. Myself.... for starters skipped 2 days of employment. Woke up at 1am Friday, unpacked my enclosed hauler that was loaded with hardware, and then re-packed the trailer with every prewar part I could find. At 6am then drove 2 hours to Luray in order to be set up bright n early on Friday. Vendors drove in from as far as Florida, Alabama and Pennsylvania, and with a good showing we did our part. Next year it's your turn, you the buyers, to show some support and make the effort. Much to see and do in the Shanadoah Valley, the mountains and fresh air are worth the drive.

(PS One parkardinfo member did stop in and we were thankful)
