Eddie, I love your countdown. I am way behind you. I went to my first York last October and I am going again this April. What a Blast. John

Eddie, I'm ready can't wait see you there.

I've already scheduled those days off from work and am just waiting to register (and also saving my nickels and dimes).

Loved seeing this thread up. Doesn't seem that far away. 

Last one was my first time. I'm ramped up ready for this one. Can't wait. My wife, 10 year old daughter and I met Allan Miller at the last one. It was just a brief meeting. My  daughter and wife bring that up every time the magazine arrives. Wonder if Allan knows what a celebrity he is....

Just booked my room at the Wingate hotel for Thursday and Friday

Alex

I, for one, cannot wait!

It cannot get here fast enough!

While I'm probably not buying this year, I will certainly enjoy seeing everyone again!

Made my usual reservation at the Marriott, got a big surprise when my wife advised me that she wanted to go this year. So I will be there with my wife, should be fun.

That's great, Paul, look forward to seeing you, and meeting the Mrs!

After missing this past October's Meet, I'm really looking forward to this one and seeing everyone!

Small chance I may go so that I can see H.Clarke and the boys....if not at York then certainly at Thursday at Fridays. All I can say is having dinner with Barney....SideRod et al............is a experience soon not forgotten!!!!!!!!!

i had my room booked since shortly after the last April meet. October's is booked also. I will be working at the OGR booth. See you there.

I hope to be there on Friday this time. I am going through withdrawals, since I could not go in the fall!

Redjimmy '55,

Barney and Scott were down to my house for the weekend.  First time they have seen my layout.  They were asking for you but I didn't see your post till now.  We'll be looking for you!

Our York badges arrived yesterday, so bring on April!

I just received my badge today and wondered if they have a holder for it at the regestration desk? This is my first time going since 2003 and back then they used adheasive badges. 

Badge holders can be purchased at the registration area.

Right. $2 at registration.

Thank you, I'll stop and pick one up.

Health issues are finally behind me (no pun there). See you in the halls or TGI Friday's.

You would never know that today is the first day of spring here in Maine. We had 14" of snow yesterday. 2 weeks ago we had 32".

Like wise here Eddie have 8 inches over last two days in Schenectady, NY it looks more like December 20th but I still have York fever!

Oct 09 was my first (and only) York but we didn't know any of you guys. I attended the DCS meeting and recognized Marty Fitz from magazine articles but he had such a huge crowd around him I couldn't get near enough to introduce myself!

Am very much looking forward to meeting many of you...

I'm ready!!  Badges arrived a few weeks ago and hotel is reserved.  Did some scheduled maintenance on the car and had it's state inspection done, so no surprises for York funding anticipated (I hope!).

Snowing in York today & tomorrow.

Has it ever snowed at the York Fairgrounds, while the meet was in progress?  Any of you old timers recall?

I have been to almost every meet since 1977 and I have not seen any snow on the fairgrounds, but it could change this April.

by the 18th of April I seriously doubt there will be any snow in York.

Brian, I never expected snow in VA after March 20th but here we are.  I'm glad my wife talked me out of tent camping this Spring.

Bill, camping is great any time of the year.  My favorite camp ground is a five star hotel with 24/7 room service!

After I turned 70, I stopped wishing for anything to get here faster.

I am so ready for York and I don't need a thing, its the experience! 

I don't need a thing either, but I can't wait.  Even my wife is looking forward to it!  I just hope the weather warms up, I have tickets to two Phillies games before the York Meet.   BRRRRR!

Registered on line a month ago have received nothing.  Starting to wonder if things are screwed up again.  Might have to make a phone call soon.

"Has it ever snowed at the York Fairgrounds, while the meet was in progress?  Any of you old timers recall?"

     I've been attending since 1995 and the closest winter like weather I can remember was the October, '09 show. It rained and was in the 30's all three days. Driving home on Thursday evening after the show, I had snow flakes hitting my wind shield on the east side of Harrisburg. Not sure if the mix made it as far south as York that evening.

    I can also remember wearing winter jackets and gloves for fridgid early to mid April bandit shows when they started at sunrise, particularly at the old Billy Budd.  

It has never snowed at the meet until this April Not since I have been going 1977.

Eddie, I'll bet you a Bricker's hot dog that it doesn't snow at the Meet!
