Hopefully next year I will be able to attend the show. I can't ever seem to make it with college stuff going on... and now back to working fun time.

Looks like a lot of fun!

I hope to be able to after I retire. If I can hitch a ride with Jerry and Stan they will be hating me before we get out of Oregon, most likely.
I'll probably just go for the records, though. Annette is already warming up the rolling pin and frying pan in anticipation of Jerry B's delivery from the show this year, so I better cool it on huge machines!

Do people bring things to the show to simply show them off? Or do you bring to sell only?

Following..... As a proud owner of some pretty common machines, I probably would not be bring any of mine to sell. But, the fellowship and networking looks fun!

David,

It's sale more than a "show".

I'm not aware of people bringing things only for "show," but I suppose it has happened on rare occasions.

Thanks for the great pictures. It was a wonderful Show. Thanks for the Cake!!! Stan Stanford

Stan,

Happy Birthday, it's great to see a fellow like you get younger every year! I could swear you told me you were 82 last year. But in any event, you look fantastic!

And on another subject, I distinctly remember at least one exhibit, several years running, at Union and Orlando, of exceptional machines definitely only for "show". I will decline to mention the exhibitor, but am certain he was 100% serious about his machines being "Not for Sale".

Also, my humble booth, with three tables, including four Operas, a nickel-plated Triumph, a Triumph with wood horn and repeater, and a mahogany Hexaphone, was at the far right-hand wall, but must have been out of camera range.
