2015 Aberdeen and Findlay shows -SAME DAYS!

[emmado22]

Wonderful. Both Findlay Ohio MV show and Aberdeen MD MV shows are on the same days in 2015... GREAT PLANNING......

Now we make the vendors decide which show to attend.......

If that schedule doesn't change, I will go to Ohio. Longer drive but the interest in the M151 stuff was much better in Findlay compared to Aberdeen. And it's not in a parking lot!

After this year Im done with Aberdeen ( after going for many years ). If it moves up to the museum in Carlyle, PA like has been discussed, then Ill start going again. Otherwise Ill spend the time and money to do another show.

I just went on the MVPA site and they have the Findlay show listed as May 15th - 17th 2014, not 2015. So do they have a typo with the year or did they copy this years date?

 

[emmado22]

Findlays FaceBook page says May 15-17, 2015........
Aberdeen's says May 14-16, 2105......


if you thought Aberdeen was not so well attended this year, just wait....... WTF were they thinking?

I used to go to the APG show in the late 90's while stationed up there. Nice show, kind'a stuffy, nothing to do but wander around. I can only imagine it at that Ripkin "museum" thing. LOL! Yea..... Pass.

I've not been to Aberdeen since 2005. I didn't fit in well with most of them. The pavement absolutely sucks unless you're wheelchair bound.

Been going to the Findlay show for the last five years, and never been disappointed. Always a good time.
Never been to the Aberdeen show, glad I didn't waste the trip.

The Ga. rally is becoming/is what Aberdeen used to be, same with MVPA conventions,

 

[gimpyrobb]

I've been to both, now-a-days Findlay is way better. I miss seeing the guys out east, but the selling(and buying) is much better in Findlay.

Announcement regarding the show:

 

[CARNAC]

All I can say is "WOW!"

 

[gimpyrobb]

If you guys have not attended the Findlay show, you guys are really missing out. Hope to see you all there in 2015.

 

[emmado22]

So according to your January 2014 Minutes, your cost to rent the parking lot has dropped from $13,000 to $5,000, but you guys have elected to keep the cost per space the same at $60? A space at Gilbert costs $25, Sussex is $30, and Aberdeen is $60. No wonder the Gilbert and Sussex shows were packed with vendors, and at Abderdeen over the past few years, not so much.....

The drive to Findlay is worth every mile from SC. Aberdeen got worse and worse. The best part was the convoy in, and that died off quick when fuel skyrocketed.

Highy recommend the Findlay show. If you are from the southeast I will have two more empty seats next year...

 

[swbradley1]

This was my first year of missing Findlay due to work and I hope nothing comes up next year.

Great show and friends.

I have never been to the Aberdeen show but I have been to the Findlay show. It's a shorter drive for me to start with as I live in the Dayton area. I might have been tempted to go to a show at Aberdeen in a future year, but now that they have scheduled their show to compete with the Findlay show, they're scratched off my list permanently. Findlay is closer and there are more vendors with more wares to sell. There's usually a pretty good turn-out of old green iron too.

 

[jcappeljr]

I will still go to Aberdeen.Its close for me.Its a shame its fading away.

 

[MWMULES]

Findlay for me you can't beat it plus I get to hang out with a bunch of buckeye boys. Sill looking for a wrecker ball picture! I have been doing shows since the 80's and it is 2nd only to the Ga rally. Next would be Iola then the KAMO.
