I went to the one the had a few years ago, and I was disappointed.  Wasn't too much for us commercial guys, but those who wanted small band mills had a nice selection.  Some of those operators are now out of business.

More than likely I'll show up on Friday afternoon.

Maybe we should have our Atlantic regional meeting of forestryforum.com.   :D  We could even get Jeff to do a guest appearance.   :o

HA HA, that's rich......Jeff.......a guest appearance.   :D

That means that he would be lurking behind the tent and watching everything you do but you wouldn't know who he was, eh?
 
You gotta get him to register if he attends. :D :D

Oh-h-h--h---h   ......ahem      I get it. :-/ :P :-/              :D

Actually, if you want to see the hommies and the wutzs, you have to go in January.  If the avian flu ain't too bad, they even have a few hinkels.  There are always sheep, goats and horses there as well.

They have a sheep to shawl contest where they bring out sheep, shear them, spin yarn and make a shawl.  I've never seen it, but it draws the crowds.

They also have horse pulls.  And they have a ton of food.  Everything in this area revolves around food.  

(For those not refined in PA Dutch a hommie is a calf, a wutz is a young pig, and a hinkel is a chicken.  And you just thought I was full of winternaus.)

 Roll Call

  Who is planning on attending since we are now closer to the event  ? I will probably be in the area attending a scrollsaw competition  at the Lebanon Expo Center on Sat and Sun but Fri is open. If anyone likes to watch sprintcars race they should stop at Williams Grove Speedway on Fri . night . We  went last year and they put on one heck of a show for like $12 a person.

   The HLMA show has moved around the state over the years. Before it was in Harrisburg they held it at the fairgrounds in York. Ten or twelve years ago it was at the fairgrounds in Bloomsburg., the one where they have the monster truck races. The farm show complex is the best venue so far simply because of its size and facilities. I agree with Ron, in that over the years the focus of the exhibitors have shifted from full-time, commercial mills to small commercial, part-time and hobby mills. This just mirrors what is happening in the industry as a whole, as the membership ranks of this forum can attest.
   About the only thing shown that interests me anymore is rolling stock, and I don't need to drive three or four hours to look at trucks and skidders. Still, I always try to attend just so I don't miss something. They moved the dates of the show this year, however. It used to be in mid-May, now it is in mid-June. In our parts that is the middle of first-cutting hay. If it rains I may drive out with a friend who runs a mill, but if it is nice I'll bale hay and go to Richmond next year.

Is there a web site for the show listing vendors, events, etc? School out on the 12 and I'm itching for a road trip.

I have to work Friday so looks like Saturday is my only option. ??? Not sure if it will take all day to see everything, but I will probably try to be there when it opens at 9:00.
I just checked the WEB site again and they still haven't posted the schedule of seminars.
Hope to meet some of you there. :) :)
