The long range accuweather forecast is for sunny and high 80's through Saturday. Chance for showers Sunday. A little too early for any accuracy though.

We can't wait. We have thousands of parts we've been getting ready for over a week. My wife is baking over 500 cookies, so make sure to stop by our booth early for cookies. We are in row IE on the Midway as usual.

Let's hope for sun! See you guys soon!

We sure will! By the way we hope to move into our new shop the week after we get back from Carlisle. We are so far behind from bad weather. Anyway, we'll look forward to seeing you Mark.
