Title: Mansfield Show
Post by: CarlS on May 03, 2017, 08:10:04 PM

Wish I was going to be there but events have derailed my hope to attend.  Mike will be there and have twice the table space to man.  I'm sure he'll be offering the better than normal super deals so he can sell out quickly and go shopping!  Best of fortune to all sellers, buyers and looker that can make the Mansfield Show.  It is always excellent and I know quite a few forumites make their way to upstate Ohio.  I hear they will have a Gatling Gun firing on Saturday.  That will be cool.

I will be in the Fairhaven Building and am looking forward to the show.

Carl, Your presence will be missed.

gandycreek:  Mike always has something you can't live without. It is just a matter of how many.

Nice image.  Did they shoot the Gatling gun?

I looked for the Gatling gun. Never saw it or heard it.

I didn't get outside much so am not sure if there was a Gatling gun, but I definitely heard the cannons firing and could see them out the glass doors.  Here I am behind 2 of our 3 tables yesterday afternoon.  By then our things were pretty well picked over, not to mention looking thin at this point from having spread our wares over more space than originally expected due to a couple no shows.

Hey Mike...that is a very neat looking table display. Did you do that all by your self?  ;)
