Posted by Gundy on Monday, April 27, 2009 12:16 PM

HELLO ALL!  I'M HOPING THAT YOU ARE READY THIS POST WITH LOUD WHISTLES AND FINE RUNNING WEATHER.  I'M LOOKING FOR SOME FEEDBACK ON THE ST. AUBIN OPEN HOUSE IN WOODSTOCK, IL.  ARE THE DEALS BIG?  DO THE VENDORS SELL NEW STUFF? IS THERE AN ADMISSION?  THEY ADVERTISED FOOD... IS THAT FREE? BIG GUNDY LIKES TO EAT!  ANY COMMENT BIG OR SMALL WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.  THANK YOU GUNDY

I was there last year and am going again this year too . I'm selling some stuff on E Bay right now so I have money to buy some new stuff . No they don't charge for admission (it's a store and they want you there. I can't go there and come home empty handed.) The BBQ was free last year and it wes real good ! If I remember right they were selling a old time tank car for $20 or $40 dollars as there special of the day if you were there. If you can make it you will be glad you did .

HI GUNDY,

I WENT THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND IT WAS GREAT FOOD AND PRICES!!!  THIS YEAR THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE MANY MANUFACTURER REPS. THERE AND RUNNING TRAINS UNDER  COVER, SO DON'T WORRY IF IT'S RAINING.  THERE'S DOOR PRIZES AND SPECIAL PRICING.  I'LL BE THERE AND MY WIFE IS COMING THIS YEAR!!!!  HOW CAN I SNEEK ANYTHING HOME NOW....MAYBE THAT'S HER PLAN?

JOHN
