For Sunday:

Plan to meet in the parking lot of the Sheraton and 8:00 AM and we'll all caravan into the show from there.

Feel free to join us for all, or just any portions of these days you want - We welcome all. It's a rain or shine so your other car is welcome as well.

UPDATE:::::::

FITCHBURG: The weather forecast as of now:
Thursday rain - I just spoke with Fitchburg people and there is no snow there today, just raining
Friday’s forecast is for 47 degrees and cloudy
Saturday forecast is for 51 degrees and clear
Some have suggested and will be coming in their regular cars.

So, here is the current plan for Fitchburg for those who want to join us:

Our Saturday plan is still on. SEE ABOVE - Visit the car/air museum, winery, some bowling, lunch and then check in at the hotel and then dinner Saturday evening. We can all meet at The Saltbox Country Store on Saturday AM.

On Sunday, if we leave the hotel by 8 AM for the show and plan to leave the field by noon and go directly home, I believe we should be able to beat the storms that are due in. Of course we could always leave the field earlier for home

We would like to hear from you so please post your intentions or email George, who’s at home waiting to compile the list of those coming and post it.

Finally, For the most part our friends in NY and Canada have cancelled and I certainly understand that. We’ll see them all at the shows in June at Portland, CT and Concord, NH shows anyway. More to be posted about them later on their own threads.
