Mike'sHorseBarn 3,260 #26 Posted March 25 @WHX?? I think there's a vendor fee to pay too when you sell that much. Since your coming, you can take that 854 off my hands then too! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ML3 1,727 #27 Posted May 3 Just booked lodging for big show. Stayed same place last year. When traveling now we pretty much stay at an Airbnb. Usually cheaper or at least the same $$ as a hotel. Definitely a lot nicer. It also helps ease the pain of my girlfriend having to look at tractors for 3 days! Lol!! Now I need to get moving on getting some trailer maint done as well as getting tractors ready. Im hoping to bring 4 tractors. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 3,333 #28 Posted May 3 I've got my time off, and my lodging all settled as well. I took Friday off, wife did too, so we will all be going I guess. If dad comes too, and he usually does that means five of us, and only 3 tractors (not that I'd trust my daughter to drive in the show grounds). Guess that's what the wagon is for, until we fill it with parts anyway. Is dinner still happening Thursday? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 10,132 #30 Posted May 4 We booked an air BNB a few months ago, and luckily it’s only 10-15 minutes from the show. This year it’ll be me, my wife, daughter, granddaughter, son in law, brother and his girlfriend! Two trucks and trailers and probably eight tractors. I’m really looking forward to this, as I do every year. It’s become my annual pilgrimage. This year I have the featured tractor and it’s on my birthday! 5 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 14,126 #36 Posted May 4 So great to have so many planning to show up! Please consider sporting a fun (or funny?) name tag with your forum handle to help with the meetin' & greetin'. Personally, I have a visual memory and seeing the name and face together makes it a lot easier for me to remember you! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,540 #37 Posted May 4 What is the name of the hotel everyone who is staying in Chambersburg staying? The one from last year next to the car wash? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 10,132 #38 Posted May 5 @wallfish Honestly I’m not sure if it’s the one in the apple orchard. When I said “We” booked it what I really meant was my wife booked it 😂 I don’t get involved in that part of any trip that we go on, because anyplace I would book would for some reason be the wrong one if you know what I mean!! I let her pick the place it’s just way easier in more ways than one! @Dan 312-8 There will always be room for you along the back wall !! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sqrlgtr 705 #43 Posted May 10 My first time. I will be staying at the Quality Inn the one @squonk and @rjg854 is staying at. Plan to arrive around 3pm on Thursday at check in time. Do you guys that bring a tractor to ride around on that stays at motel leave your tractor at show or haul it back and forth to motel ? Hadn't decided if I'm going to bring one yet or not. Also have GT14 I thought about bringing to sell or trade for short frame square hood tractor or another round hood tractor ? I have a video of GT14 with my niece riding around on it if someone might be interested in it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a large barn they can be parked in at night if need be. Edited May 10 by squonk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many of us also bring pop-up canopies to hang out (especially nice for a passing shower or hot sun) along with a lawn chair or two. We mostly set up along the main “loop”--easy to see how it works when you arrive. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
