    Great news. Maybe I can get the '48 finished in time. If not I'll just have to drive the roadster. Oh yeah, just pre-registered.

    Thanks for the reply,
    I just got off the phone with the sleep inn and I got a room for $ 99 like you said. Seems the guy last night was mis-informed. If anyone needs to call to book a room talk to Margot she is very helpful and knows the correct rate.

    Alan, I think you can tell from the responses so far how happy this change of location has made everyone...............me included.:D The show had a cozy kind of feel to it when it was held there. Plus, there are things to do, like visit the museum and Don's personal stash at his garage sale.

    I also won't mind the slightly shorter drive. I know it was only a lttle further to go to fairgrounds but that extra distance seemed painful for some reason.

    Good move, thank you. :)

    Don
