Stop by this year Murph....We'll treat you right! Even if you bring the daily late model and walk the day....If there was only one event a year I could do this would be it.

 

I recognize that green machine Twink. I'm the fat lil movie guy with the beard that lives on South Park Rd. Stop by and shoot the breeze Saturday

 

Intro yourself Dehartcarl when you get there....Hambers get a discount if I know they are members, I'll treat you right

 

Bob's the man! The only man with awesome old school videos for sale.

Pay him a visit, he'll have beer and great old videos!

What's the "Saturday Night at the Movies" feature going to be Bob? Probably more Nitros from Hell?!?! Ha Ha!

Good luck at the meet buddy!

 

I plan on going this year for sure. I missed last year and will be gone for Fall Carlise, so this will get me through the winter. I might even get the wife to go.....

 

This has been a long running event for me waddaycare, it's the 40th anniversary this year and I believe I have been there 18 years running. Don;t sell a ton but it makes expenses and is such a nice laid back low pressure event to do I would go even if not vending....well rounded, the host club is great, plenty to do and see (even for the wife) and this time of year the fairgrounds and surrounding area are beautiful. I stay in Grantsville MD, the amish style food is great...as you can gather it's one of my all around favorite events.

 

Sure hope the weather holds?

 

My favorite event ever, too bad I live 2000 miles away now.

 

........If you leave now you'll get there with time to spare.

 

1st time going as a participant. Going with a buddy whose been there before.
Sound like a good time.

 

Is there anything going on in the Cumberland/surrounding area on Friday night? I know about Frostburg Thursday and the Super Cruise Sat, but what about Friday???

 

Being wrapped up all day long with vending I can't answer the question of what goes don outside the fairgrounds Travj31....maybe someone could chime in here and answer your question. Usually by the time I leave in the evening the only thing I am looking for is a hot shower and cold sheets at the Casselman Inn !!

 

We're going up sat. morning, looking forward to camping. Last time I camped there I was 14 (24yrs ago)

 

packin as we speak. be there from sunday on. never miss this show

 

Fellas,there are gonna be $1,000 cash drawings daily(not sure how many days at this point)you must have a hot rod registered and on the grounds and respond to the drawing anouncement within a 15-30 minute time.
Considering everyone registered has a number and the totals are less than 1,000(sadly?) your odds are really good.
Best of luck!

If anyone needs help with matters concerning the RoundUp, I/M me here on the HAMB and I'll respond with a cell number(mine) and will help you any way I can?

 

Carl... is there a one day pass this year that doesnt cost $45???

 

wow that rod jousting photo brought back a memory. I was 10 to twelve years old ,remember my mom hanging out the window of my dads 40 ford deluxe coupe lol every time it shifted into second gear she would miss.my mom blamed my dads driving,he blame the shift kit any way the was the last time we where there i'm 34 now. TALKED TO POPS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE WERE GOING AGAIN 24 YEARS LATER

 

Rod Jousting is still on for this year.
Corn's been ordered.
We've welcomed the "week-prior" rollins today.(Sat)
One-day passes are full price,the majority of your money refunded when you return your registration/windshield sticker/paperwork to the Registration people at a set time(ask them when you need to return for your refund) We do this as in the past some "participants" have tried to beat the system and one-day-pay their way for the whole weekend.
NOONE will be cheated out fo their money/refund.We wouldn't be around if we were in the cheater business?

Due to "piggybacking events" we're attempting to stay in business and our goal is to donate to "The League,A Place For Children"(formerly the League for Crippled Children of Allegany County.Same great people and beneficial group.)

Any questions,I/M me here and I'll get back to you poste haste.
Carl

 

Ok thanks Carl
