The Rockford O Scalers group will be attending the show and we hope to see/meet many of your there.  We will also be open as part of the March Meet layout tours .  The layout is about 1:15 west/north west of the show and we will be open Saturday night from 7:00 to 9:30 and Sunday from 12:00 to 6:00.  Please check out the facebook page "Rockford O Scalers" if you would like to see what the layout looks like.

We really were set up to go.  Airline tickets and table purchased, hotel reservations made, inventory ready to ship and then everything went haywire.  Went in for what was supposed to be a simple procedure and spent the next 6 days in intensive care.  From what they tell me, the first few days were really ugly (I was unconscious and have zero recollection).

Bottom line, I'm bailing this year.  Too much work with my diminished stamina.  Okay, it ain't all doom & gloom.  I feeling better than I've felt in quite a while.  Next year, we go for sure...bet on it!

We'll be praying for you Jay!   You'll have twice as much stamina for next year's show.
