Alex, it is Saturday and Sunday the 24th & 25th. we are going up on Friday and leaving Sunday morning. if you are going, get your tickets online so you don't have to wait on a line in the cold
I will be there. The Big E is a really good meet, and for me it beats York!
I plan on being there Saturday weather permitting .
Will there be a gathering at the OGR booth on Saturday? If so, what time?
I'll be there Saturday!!!!

Will there be a gathering at the OGR booth on Saturday? If so, what time?
Sadly no as OGR has decided not to attend this year. Meet is at Ross Custom switches at 2pm
check out the other thread. Rich's reasons for OGR not attending this year are listed there.
Weaver is not listed on the vendor lise either. I have orders they could give me if the were attending and I could save on shipping, ohwell
Steve from Ross is a great guy as are his products.
As for the show, best selection is early on Saturday and down hill from there. Best deals are hit and miss, as with any show. I find that private dealers deal early while the commercial dealers deal later, it just depends what you find and that is the reason to go early or as early as possible.
This is also a great show for modeling not just for buying.
Tickets bought at door, the money goes to a good cause as the finer halls are jacking up prices all the time.
OGR will not be there, as Gary linked to.
Enjoy the show, can't be there this year.
Charlie
I'll be there.
Excellent Spence, make sure to get to Ross for the 2:00PM photo. Looking forward to seeing you there!

ok, 2pm at Ross. didn't know this.
See you all there on Saturday. RCS @ 2:00 PM
Be there for a few hours on Saturday, oh who am I kidding......be there all day, unless its snowing!
I plan on attending Saturday again.
See you all there.
I'll be buying track from Ross, so I might as well be there at 2 then.

Looks like Sunday for me. I'm working 12 hours Friday night. So I probably won't be awake enough to drive and attend on Saturday. Sorry, I won't get to see you all at the photo shoot. On the bright side, Sunday is less crowded and I've scored some good deals in past years.
OGR will be at the Big E! If we have to put a large snow plow on our our vehicle to get there...we will.
Looking forward to seeing all of you at the OGR booth when you get there either on Saturday or Sunday or both days!

Anything. I'm in the same boat as Gary I'm just under 20 min. Is there a open dinner thing like the past shows?

Hi guy's. Since Ed will be there for OGR do we want to meet at the OGR booth at 2:00? Not to confuse things just an idea.
