Weather appears very unsettled for this weekend. Where will any info be posted of the weather turns bad? Ie like show cancelled. Im hoping to camp out Saturday night but... Trying to be helpful to avoid a similar situation a couple years back. All ears. ---Randy---

may get an afternoon thunder storm, but that's no big deal....

It's been fun watching them change the forecast EVERY time. Look at yesterday when we were getting dumped on ALL day and then they said nothing but some light afternoon t storms and then mid day rain only and then what really happened.

Packing tent and some raincoats. Great way to wash everything if it rains.

Finishing up some projects and starting to pack. Will head out some time on Saturday most likely.

Anyone have a split bus elephant ear mirror they are willing to part with and bring to Terryville? My son broke mine off. Let me know. Thanks.

I plan on having a message on my answer machine at 6:30 AM Sunday morning. If you are really unsure give it a call in the morning before you take off. We plan on having the show. About 8 years ago it rained all day and we went on with the event. Never cancelled or postponed in 24 years. The info phone for showday is listed in the calendar of events under Terryville. Chuck P

Thanks for your response. Im not really worried about the weather, being a landscaper, I can deal with rain if I really need to. Thanks for Giving direction to others if they are in question about the weather at the show. If anyone asks me at least there is a direct source One can direct them to. Thanks for your response. I'm sure putting on an event like this has too many issues you really want to deal with. But Lets all hope the weather is going to be not too Hot with no rain.

I'll Tell you on Monday. Can't wait for the show. Thanks again for all you do to put on this event. THANKS Chuck...................
