CLA Show in Lexington !!

[Darrin McDonal]

I too will be there. I will leave here Thurs at, oh say 5-5:30 and get to Lexington at midnight hopefully so set up Friday morning. I will have a table for the first time here so I hope I can break away for the ALR meet & greet in the cafe.
 Please stop by my table and say "Hey".    I need to put faces with names.

Here it is monday morning, only three days to go.  We have a whole van full of people and guns coming down that way,
should get there about 3 or 4  thursday afternoon.   And, for all of you dis-believers, I am bringing a barn gun, in the white, for you to look at, along with some other pretty nice guns.   Stop by our table and check things out.....can't wait.

[Eric Fleisher]

It's almost bedtime.  I don't think I will be able sleep tonight.  I am making my first trip to the CLA show tomorrow. I am picking up Don Getz at 5:30 a.m. Then we are heading over the mountain to the barrel shop to meet John and few other guys. We hope to leave at 6 a.m.  We are picking up Art DeCamp and Mark Wheland along the way.  We should arrive around 3:30 p.m.  I look forward to meeting many of you from the board and taking in the show.  Mark Wheland told me the best way to describe it is "Sensory Overload".  I wish it was morning already!

QUICK! Someone take a picture! I won't be there and I have wanted to see one of Don Getz's barn guns since ho mentioned making one a couple of years ago.

[Larry Pletcher]

Steve Chapman and I leave friday am 5:00 am.  We hope to see you fellows at the food court at noon.   There are so many of you that I need to put faces with names.  This is my first CLA and I can't wait.  See you all soon!

Dennis -- My connection is finally working.  The right tech guy answered the phone this time.  The others passed the buck.  This fellow knew his stuff.

[Ken G]

Hey Larry.  Looking forward to meeting you face to face.  It's 1:00 in the food court.

[Geoff Jones]

Anyone know the actual show times?  The CLA website only lists Fri and Sat as show days... not the actual show times...

Thanks, geoff

[Ken G]

It's 8:00am - 8:00pm on Fri
      8:00am - 4:00pm on Sat.

[Ky-Flinter]

Everybody's talking about their departure times, driving distance, etc.

Well, let's see....  Leave the house about 7:15am on Friday, stop at McD for coffee and be at the show when they open at 8am.  Sorry, I couldn't help it.  Sure is great to have the CLA and all my ALR friends come to my hometown!

Don't forget the gathering of the ALR members attending on Friday at 1:00pm in the Food Court, on the ground floor of the convention center, at the base of the escalators, same as last year.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!  -Ron
