Jeff - please understand that this was not in response to your post. But rather a simple reminder to all. Most of the shows we all participate in the promoter allows us free rain. At this show however they have stated in the past to keep with the theme. We are a big draw for them and that helps a bunch. They extend a good bit of good will on tables and such. We as a group have gotten into a good groove at the show so it's really a general statement to those who have never been and don't know what to expect.

BTW on that note.
we typically get a freebie day by being allowed to set up Thursday afternoon. I have yet to receive confirmation on this. But in general we run from set up till about 2am then start up again at 8am and follow this pattern till noon Sunday for tear down. That's a lot of play time so rest up the week before......

A note to all, it was politely pointed out to me that the military isn't all about blowing stuff up. Until recently I never even heard of mounting a recovery boom on a tank chassis. Rather imaginitive group I must admit.

Plan to bring or buy locally some heavy paper.
Yes we will have the docks

Yes we are encouraged to travel the halls (lower level) during the show.

Travis, that's great! Tell your dad thanks! I'm sure it'll get used. Looks like it would make a good railroad bridge between shows!

Thanks guys, I had given my dad the lumber from a flat bed and he made himself a bridge and mentioned building one for the trucks so I went to town and got him some lumber before he changed his mind.

Bridge looks great Travis! Your Dad did a great job. Is it tall enough for the guys with the really tall stacks?

14in of clearence so anything taller than that is going to have to go around or loose some parts.
