Cabin Fever 2017 is Coming Quick! Featuring Elmers's Engines

[jschoenly]

That time of the year is coming around faster than ever!  I’m not looking forward to the time change this coming weekend with daylight saving, but it’s sure going to start that Cabin Fever feeling early!  If you haven’t already, mark your calendars for January 13-15th 2017 for the 21st Annual Show!

This year we are trying something new with the feature.  2017 will be featuring the famous “Elmer’s Engines”!  We are looking for participation, so dust off an old build or fire up the machines and build one to bring along!  Exhibitors displaying a feature engine (and there are lots of these designs to choose from!) will receive a ticket for a drawing Saturday afternoon for door prizes!  We are looking forward to seeing everyone’s displays, large and small – Elmer’s Engines or not!

We are putting together the auctions for Friday and Saturday.  These auctions have been a big draw and a great way to add a little something to your collection or give you a chance to let go of some no-longer-needed goods for the next caretaker!  As always, we are on the constant lookout for quality consignments and would be happy to discuss anything you have.  These auctions are one of the ways we can manage the show costs and continue to hold this event for all.  Therefore, we sincerely appreciate all your support as buyers or sellers!  All consignments for Friday’s Auction must be delivered no later than Thursday afternoon.  Please call us ahead so we know what’s coming and can advertise your items!

Saturday, we will not have the “semi-silent” auction as in years past but we will have a tremendous collection of Pressed Steel Toys, Erectors Sets, and Standard Gauge Trains!  This is a phenomenal group of collectibles and we are looking forward to this cataloged sale.  The list of items being sold will be posted on the AuctionZip listing and will be available for review prior to the auction. 

We have a pretty full house as usual but if anyone is interested in becoming a Vendor we have some limited space still available.  Contact us for details.

As always, if you have any questions please feel free to contact us.  We try to have any updates listed on our show website at www.CabinFeverExpo.com.  Auction listings can be viewed by following www.CabinFeverAuctions.com.  Looking forward to seeing everyone in early 2017!

Jared,
Can't wait for Cabin Fever 2017 and the Elmer's Engines theme is a great touch.  If our makerspace wanted to set up a display would that be considered a "vendor" or "exhibitor"?  We're a non-profit and would not be selling anything.

Cheers,
Phil

Phil,

Shoot me an email if you would to discuss but I'm sure we can work something out.  Look forward to having you!

Hey Stan, this should be right down your alley. Great idea Phil. Still hoping there may be a way to come this year.

Hey Jared, did you forget my balloons? 

When he told me about the Elmers Feature I suggested he give every one a balloon to tie on their Elmer engine, so visitors can easily find all the Elmers  in the show. I was polishing  up my old engine so I could have a balloon.

The Elmer's collection will be ready to go. Great idea!

[steamer]

I'm planning on going with steamers collection....and I might be thirsty....just sayin Cletus.

Look forward to seeing everyone at the show

Gee guys,  y'all sure have started me to thinking about it.  If I do make it I'll have to fly in , I'm not RV'ing  in Pa. in January     Dave,  if I don't make it, send me the tab;  just don't let Vern start ordering that "voting age" Scottish produce  .

Ron - I may have forgot to mention, but we are planning to have balloons! 

Cletus - there is camping available onsite but obviously electric will likely be the only hookup for you if you decide to RV it. 

Thanks all for the interest and excitement!

For those with the engine polished up, I'm possibly looking for some pictures for the plaque and buttons.  I have a few options but if you'd like to submit a photo for consideration, please PM me!!  Thanks!

Will do boss!....

Hey all - Spread the word!  We were recently presented with many of the engines from the collection of the late Ray Hasbrouck.  Check out our listings for the auctions for pictures and details.  www.cabinfeverauctions.com

We also have some fantastic Sheet metal tools and there will be over 200 model engines of all sorts from manufactured to brilliant one off models.  We haven't had this many in the Friday auction for a few years, it's going to be a good one!

Show plans are shaping up well and we are looking forward to another great year.  Looking forward to having you all!

It is getting close.
As usual, I'll be shamelessly reserving a MEM section.
If you are going to show your work, let me know here and I'll reserve space for you.
It would be helpful to know if you need a whole table or less. (One engine, every Elmer's engine, etc)

[kvom]

I will be there.  Will bring Joy engine and paddle engine, plus Coventry if running properly.  Also Comber running or not.
