    The MWTCA just had a meet here in GA. I was very dissapointed to find they were done by 10:00am saturday when I arrived ! The event was supposed to be 3 days, fri.,sat. and sun.. I drove almost 2 hours one way just to get there. Not to mention there really aren't too many things like it down here. Needless to say I was extremely dissapointed. When I asked one of the gentlemen loading his truck why it had ended he said everyone got there early(thu) and everyone was tired by now(sat. 10:00am)!!!!He said try next year?

    Wish I knew sooner, I have house guests coming this Saturday. Ain't no way the LOML is letting me leave the premises.
    The means by which an end is reached must exemplify the value of the end itself.

    Does any one know if non members of the MWTCA are allowed to go? It is only about an hour away and I don't have anything to do any way but it would be really disapointing to not get let in because I am not a member.

    open to the public

    Emery Goad, the host, has kept this show open to the public for several years. It's a great one day show. I didn't go last year because of snow. The forecast for Saturday is for a high of 37 degrees and a 50% chance of rain--good enough for me.

    Sorry for such late notice.

    Zahid and Joe (and any others) sorry I didnt post sooner about the meet. I have been in Biloxi MS on a job for the past 3 weeks and it slipped my mind. I will try to post events sooner I just didnt have my calendar in front of me. The show is open to the public for and admission is $7.
