Charleston Show
« on: December 23, 2018, 11:28:57 PM »
Hello,

I'll be at the Charleston Show the first weekend in January and hope some of y'all can make it as well.  Charleston is a great city to visit and other than not being able to use the beach for sun and surf the offseason is the best time to go.  Hotels are cheaper and more available and the traffic is considerably less.  The seafood is great.  There is a lot to do and see if you like history.  The show is pretty good and getting better each year.  It is put on by American Digger and they are working to improve it each year.   Hope to see you there.
Best,
Carl

Do to personal reasons I will not be making it to Charleston (again)  :(. I believe a piece of shrapnel will be given to you for delivery. Can you get it to Dicky Ferry for me. He will get it to me upon his return.

Jay:  Will do. I have them in my possession and will give them to Dickey.   Sorry I didn’t reply but I thought your question was for the forumite you got the frag from.

Hello,

Just wanted to leave a reminder to bring any drilling or cleaning needed. Can be shipped back or picked up at a show. 
Best,
Carl

I won't make it this year -- I'll be going to the Bears playoff game!  I hope you all have fun in Charleston, and the show doesn't suck again this year.

I hope your Bears game doesn't suck.   :)
It is history that teaches us to hope.

Me too, Jon.  I think the Bears have sucked longer than the Charleston Show has, but things are looking up all around.  Last year there was a big snowstorm in SC that shut the CHS airport for 5 days and made getting around extremely treacherous.  As a result, nobody came to the show but the oyster roast for dealers rocked.  To top it off there was some button thievery after I left, and I hope that guy everyone suspected is banned for life.  Aside from the one bad apple, there are some great people who only come to that show that I will miss seeing.  I have 3 cousins in Mt. Pleasant and my Dad, who is here with me now for the holidays,  lives not too far away so I always like going.  Finally, surprisingly, I have never been to the Confederate Museum there.  It was damaged by Hugo which closed it for a long time and around that time I was a bit freaked out because I mistakenly walked boldly right into US Senator Jim DeMint's office looking for the museum's temporary location.  Thankfully, I wasn't Tased before I retreated.

I'm sure it would not have been the first time you've been tasered Mike!  ;) Just kidding! Wishing you and your family a prosperous and Happy New Year!

Being tased is no fun. THE LONGEST 5 seconds of your life.

For those who went to Charleston, was it a good show?

Jay,  it was definitely well attended. Over 500 people came through the door on Saturday alone. Sunday was pretty close in attendance, surprisingly. Some people said they did really well selling, others - not so much.  But, that's the way shows go. I had a great Friday selling to dealers, a slim Saturday selling to the public and then banner sales on Sunday !     You just never know !
