The Fate of the Hunnert Car Pileup

Well done Czars!

 

"sir, you have to wear pants here"...breeder replys.." but im on the bowling team lady, so back off and sell me a sandwich!".... yeah, sounds about right!

 

its cool that u guys were able to find a good spot to have the show at dio u know what vendor spots are gonna cost i sell vintage clothing and midcentry items i dont know if i should go in the swapmeet or vendor area thankx much again for keeping the show goin

 

Great job guys... Being a southern Illinoisan myself, I am glad to see this show will continue to grow...

 

I was hoping it was going to move back to Marty & Sons

 

Me too!

 

I don't think Abomber30 or his Dad would appreciate 20,000 people showing up at their doorstep...

That would be a vendor spot.

 

Yeah, the swap is for used/vintage car parts ONLY. For anything else, contact me. We're in the process of updating the website now and will probably open vendor registration in May. We haven't discussed pricing yet, but we haven't changed it in at least 6 years, so I doubt we will this year! Figure on $100/spot. We'll announce it on the HAMB when we open registration.

 

I missed last years due to illness....but hopefully I'll be there this year. Might have to do onsite camping to help keep cost down...but I'm game.

 

Went to Mapquest looking for a likely area for this to be taking place, none found.
Could anybody give me a location of where in Decatur? Maybe a larger intersection near it, or relationship from the airport?

Thanks.....Roger

 

From the airport , go north to 105. then west to brush college road , then straight north from there.

That's so rad! Can't wait.

 

I'll be there

 

3479 NW Progress Ave

Not sure if that link will take you to the map. If it doesnt just copy and paste it into google.

 

Mac & Nick.....Thanks much. I wasn't having any luck finding a "Progress City" within the confines of Decatur. I had noticed that area, but had no way of knowing if it was a housing development.

Thanks, again.....Roger

 

It's not a housing development. It is an area specifically designed for ONE thing: The Farm Progress Show. The buildings to the south of it are Richland Community College which is in charge of curating the site. Everything around Progress City is farmland. I don't know what you're looking at. From an aerial map it may look like and undeveloped housing area because the show are is bisected by "streets"

 

yahoo maps doesn't recognize that address

 

Unless I'm mistaken, this is the area the show will be in.

Google Link

 

Click on the link. It works. Lindross' link works, too. The green and burnt out grassy areas are 100s of acres of spectator parking. The area checked by little roads is the show area.

 

Maybe this will give you a rough idea of the location. SSE of the I-72 & 48 intersection.

 

We really need a swap meet. Hope something can be put together. Plowboy; bring a bunch of your stuff.

 

Ive never been more happy to live 10mins from Decatur!!!!

 

Me to Buddy , I have not been through decatur in almost 2 years but im on my way now!! . Ive been telling everyone i know . There is an entire caravan coming up from Shelbyville . Ive got a couple buddys that are parking thier camper at a buddys shop so they will be right there .

 

Wall of Death this year, Hellfish?

 

Guys -

Were excited to be part of this years Hunnert, Thanks for the oppurtunity to help out!!

 

SWEEEEEEETTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Central Illinois Rocks!!! Ok, we dont, but we will in October!!!!!!

 

Where do we park our tractors?

 

Uh... is that a LION in a SIDECAR?!

 

Crazy ass lion..

 

Is the lot (main show area) paved? Is there a web site that would have pix of the ground's?
