Hi John, I was supposed to be there, but decided not to battle the snow. Judging by what some of my co-workers say, it's probably better I stayed home. I'm glad you found some fun stuff though--and hooray for your wife's purchase!

I BRAVED THE SNOW AND ROADS FOR 2 HOURS TO DRIVE TO MADISON FOR THE SHOW.  A COUPLE OF G LAYOUTS AND SOME MERCHANDISE.  THERE WAS ONE STAND THAT HAD SOME REALLY GOOD PRICES FOR HE WAS SELLING ITEMS FROM AN ESTATE.  MY WIFE LIKED THE SERRIA PASSENGER CAR, (YES, THIS WAS HER FIRST SHOW!!!!!!) AND WE GOT THAT.  BAD THING IS WE WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A LOT MORE, BUT HE WAS ONLY TAKING CASH.  TRACK AND SWITCHES WERE VERY CHEAP......REALLY HARD TO KEEP WALKING.  OH WELL......HAD A GOOD TIME TOGETHER.
