Fall shows???
 
I want to try and make at least one this fall. If you guys had to pick just one, which one is probably gonna be the biggest for us??

Toccoa Sept 11-12 or Bug Jam Nov 13-14

Panelfantastic July 28th 2004 06:48

Definately Toccoca over Bug Jam... I think Bug Jam would be awesome but a heck of a drive to show off a half done project... :laugh:

NO_H2O July 28th 2004 08:18

That would be a long haul period. Taccoa is a good show, not huge but fun. We had a blast last year. Camping, cookin' out, a few beers, talkin' smack with the Resto-Purist folks. I think we will do the VKG swap area so it will cost us a few bucks each to put our stuff out to sell and take turns tending the stuff. That swap meet has been good to me 2 years running. :agree:

OK, wife is game for Toccoa. I am searching for a trailer I can borrow/rent/lease now. Scared of the uhaul stuff, a lot of coin for what is usually a beat-up heap and I've got over 1000 mls to travel.
I will keep everybody posted and be checking back for some hotel tips if I can get everything together.

1,000 miles, is that one way or both ways...

I'm not very good at geography... :rolleyes:

Panelfantastic July 28th 2004 23:03

525 one way.

NO_H2O July 29th 2004 08:20

There is a hotel close to the show. Most of us will be camping Sat. night. Some will go to the hotel. I think Nigel Yellow73 stayed at the hotel last year. We will try to get you some info.

Panelfantastic July 29th 2004 08:38

If I was going solo, I'd nap in the back of my truck. :sleep:
With my wife coming along, it's gotta be four star... not becuase she insists, but becuase we hardly ever get to take a break and I want us to have a decent place to shower and crash. :cool:

vujade July 29th 2004 08:54

I seriously doubt there is anything close to 4 start up there.
But you never know :rolleyes:

oasis July 29th 2004 12:47

Toccoa, Georgia, I hope, and not Toccoa, Missouri. Where can I find more info about the show? ... and about camping*?

(* - if I'm bringing my family and if we haven't sold our Westy yet and if I'm willing to tow Shantung and if they want to :rolleyes: )

NO_H2O July 29th 2004 18:00

OK here is the Hotel info.
Days Inn. Toccoa (706)886-9461
Toccoa Inn (706)886-1048
I han't been to either one so I don't know how far from the Fairgrounds they are.

Panelfantastic August 1st 2004 18:09

Have access to trailer!
Any further info on hotels? Which is closer to the event? Which is the nicest/choice pick?

NO_H2O August 1st 2004 19:02

I think Nigle (Yellow 73) stayed at the Days Inn last year. I have not seen either place. Maybe there is some info on hotels.com etc.

yetibone August 1st 2004 19:21

I stayed at that Days Inn about 6 months ago. Rooms are around $50, and are OK. It's about 5 miles from the FG

I'll be camping. Can't beat the price there :agree:
