Lebanon Indiana Garden show 2017

[fhhhstix]

Yes we are doing Lebanon again this year. This is just 30min from INDY just off of interstate 65

Annual Home And Garden Show
April 20, 21, and 22, 2017
Three (3) day event located at the Boone County 4-H fairgrounds.

If you need any more info just ask.


We are doing this instead of INDY due to the cost of the Indy show. I won't point any fingers or go into great detail but the promotor at the Indy show pushed us and called our bluff after admitting she needed us more than we needed her so we walked away. She is blaming us for posibly killing her show but I am fine with our decision and I will sleep just fine at night.

[GlobelinerBrad]

Tbiddle is a ZFG kinda guy! Thanks again for giving us another place to play!

[tc1cat]

Thanks for the update, Travis. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Missed seeing everyone last year at Indy.

[Mustang46555]

Thanks for the update Travis. Can't wait to see the new area.

Do you guys have a Facebook/website? From WI, would like to join the club

Welcome Fireman, your pretty much on it. And you'll get most of the info here. There are as you probably know many unassociated facebook pages that some are on. As far as joining, start a thread on what your building, show up at some of the meets and enjoy, that's about it.:D

[FabOne]

You're the MAN Travis!! I've booked our rooms and we'll be heading that way (Lebanon) next month.

Terry, Alex and Cooper (and Rita too)

[calm n sedated]

is this inside? Real dirt?

[tc1cat]

Inside on carpet with the rubber.

[Izzy]

Guys I think it was polished concrete not carpet.

[frizzen]

Looks like last year had epoxy coated concrete or polished concrete with some astro-turf type carpet rolled out for the grass. Inside horticulture building, with lights and outlets.

Do we still need to bring our own tables and chairs?

[Izzy]

Yes, sorry to confuse.

The building is concrete as noted. But T,L and others have bought indoor outdoor carpet. We still lay heavy tar paper down for roads.

We do not have run on the concrete. We can certainly drive on it. But clean up is a little slower.

The 'coal' piles and other activities all run on the carpet.

[tc1cat]

Chairs and tables were supplied last year but may be in short supply with the Home and Garden show going at the same time. It was first come, first supplied.

[frizzen]

Any idea yet what show hours are going to be?

[Izzy]

Last year we started around 8am and we booted out around midnight or so.
Cleanup is mid afternoon on last day generally.
Setup is day before the first day of the show, if we have access, usually late afternoon.

[Actros4160]

Can you post some instruction how to get to the building or in which building it will be. :)

[TRUCKMAKER]

This is the building we were in last year.
Witham Health Services Pavilion, Lebanon, IN 46052

[sparkycuda]

I'll be in before noon on Thursday and stay thru end of show. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Ken

[Mustang46555]

Same here. Plan to arrive around noon on Thursday and there through the end of the show.

Dennis

[Izzy]

I have scored some hard board panels for roads. We will have to do so testing and figuring though. I'm hoping that we can forgo the tar paper.

If calcs are right I have enough for about 300' of roads.

Hopefully we can make it work so that it'll be reusable in stead of throwing the tar paper away all the time.

Sounds Good!
It would be great to be able to replace the tar paper.

[FabOne]

What about a head count in regards to who's coming to LEBANON Show next week. I can tell you it's well worth it.

Alex (DieselKid), Cooper (Lowboy) and myself (FabOne) will be there.

Let's hear a nay or yay.

-Terry

[frizzen]

I will be there, and bringing some people i want to get hooked.

Is there an admission fee, or do we have to say we're with the model trucks, or anything like that?

[Goodison]

I'm going to be at the home & garden show

[TRUCKMAKER]

I'll be down Wednesday thru Sunday, not sure what I'm bringing yet.

[tc1cat]

I'll be there on Friday only. Previous scheduled event on Sat. to go to. Wish I could be there longer:(:(

[Mustang46555]

I'll be there Thursday thru Sunday.

[Actros4160]

Will be there late afternoon on Thursday through Saturday late need to Travel back Sunday

See there:cop:

[Izzy]

To all those uncertain, come. This is your chance to meet up with as many like minded mini truckers.

[GlobelinerBrad]

See you all Friday and Saturday!!!

[TRUCKMAKER]

Got tables set up and ready for every one but it's still first come first serve. Check out the thread in general discussion I posted pictures of the room!

Still some time to go play toy trucks with great people

[Izzy]

CORRECTION - And Appologies. No site fee but we did do a $10 driver fee to cover misc. Costs - duct tape ain't cheap lol

[frizzen]

Oops, i owe somebody then. Sorry.

Next time would it be possible to do a side bypass road around the big belly-dump bridge? Car tires didn't do well on the mesh, and i saw some lowered stuff high center over it.

Where did you buy the ground rubber?

Sure that's no problem, you just need to show up and help set up and lay the road down where you want it.

[TRUCKMAKER]

Big thanks to Travis and Izzy for another great show. Had a good time why I was there. Would have liked to be there until tomorrow like I planned but life didn't go my way.

[tc1cat]

Thanks to all who helped set up the show. Had a great time on Friday seeing all of the people that I missed at Indy last year. Looking forward to more shows there!

[jack van]

:cop:

[Izzy]

Frizzen we could have done that, we had extra board thee and space behind the bridge. Didnt know it was an issue. The layout is always a work in progress. Like Kent said, those who are thee to setup decide the layout. But we do edit if it isn't working for us.

[Izzy]

Big thank you to everyone who attended. Our turnout was decent. We still had space for others to come join in. But we made a good stride towards a building a relationship with the fairgrounds for our own show.

Thanks to the following guys who helped clean up
Cooper, Dennis, Nate, Berdt, Terry, Alex, Travis, and Izzy.

Thank you for a wonderful three days of fun.

[ihbuilder]

So It's at a fairgrounds , any chance of adding dirt to the layout ?

[Mustang46555]

A big thanks to Travis, Izzy, Kent and all the others for a fantastic weekend!

[woodhog]

I will try to plan on it next year. The boys scout camp was this weekend also and I couldn't take off Friday. So maybe it will work out better next round. Looks like we missed a good time sorry guys

[Actros4160]

Super Weekend and I made it back home safely after 1,5hour in a traffic jam north of Atlanta.

[arf1201]

good show, thanks to you guys for giving us a place to play and for all the ideas I'm now working on. Hopefully I can make it to the next one and have more time. Austin

The bridge grate and tall edges of the new roads let me learn about my VWs limits.

Frizzen, thanks for the pics. Looking for the owner of the Dave & Buster truck. I meet him and think the name is Bart from Detroit. Anyway, would appreciate a message if you are him or know him.

Thanks!

Wow, i missed a lot of other really cool stuff.

An excavator full of babies? It must be art, because i don't understand it.

Nate explained that at a previous event someone put them in the crumb rubber for others to find. He collected them and they ended up in his excavator. At least, that's how I remember it told to me. So, if I have it wrong, Nate can correct me.
