I don't know how they will pull it off. They are half way through the yellow reopen phase PA is doing and if the green phase happens on schedule the end of it's two weeks would be during the Carlisle show and even then gatherings larger than 250 people are to be prohibited. There would be more than 250 vendors. How many vendors will show up? How many people will show up to maybe buy? All those people that have to travel from several states away. Are they thinking big business vendors that are barely yet open are going to pack up and sell to a small crowd? What about all the guys from Canada and other foreign guys? they can't travel here and would they even want to at this point? It costs money to pack up travel and be there to sell. What return can you really think you will get? Might not be a big deal to hobbyist, but for the big vendors, the cost/benefit doesn't add up. With all the other events being cancelled they appear to be charging ahead. They should just bite the bullet and cancel. Then tell all the vendors with spaces that this years space fees will apply to next years show.
