Well that's good! The thing about Covid is (And I realize this is "out of bounds" for a toy train discussion) it's out there for good like a lot of other diseases that can carry you off, and it's never going away. Be safe, get the shots, Lady Firestorm and I did and we don't regret it.
People that want "Zero Risk" are kidding themselves. There's NEVER any "Zero Risk," about anything. That's life baby.
One last word in this thread, thanks to any and all who came to the show this past Saturday!
We had a good show and a lot of fun was had by all.
More on the November two-day show as the details are finalized. I'll start a new thread on that one.
Just pushing this thread to the top of the queue as a reminder, train show's this Saturday! Come and see us!
After this one our next will be a two-day show in the Richmond VA area November 20 and 21, but more on that as the details are finalized.
"Squashapenny Junction's" a neat place. I haven't been there in quite a while though, last time they really didn't have anything I was interested in, but I should go back when the opportunity permits.
I've been aware of it. Never open when I've been in town, unfortunately. I like to venture up to Doswell (great railfan spot), and see what's inside The Squashapenny.
Fife, if you mean Ashland VA and you have the time check this place out, if you haven't been there before.

It's where I go, great place!
Thanks for posting these shows guys.
I have family in Ashland. Have to see if I'm working that Saturday.
There's a Greenberg show this weekend (August 7-8) at the Frederickburg Expo Center in Fredericksburg VA too! I'll be going, not because I'm really looking for something but you never know, do you?
Something might be looking for ME!
Greenburg show is also returning!

PS: As of today (August 5) for those interested there are still exhibitor tables available, although they typically have a lot of "last minute" sales, so don't wait if you may be interested in exhibiting at the show.
