 Topic: A C shows decisions

I'd really like to go to both,, but,, pocket book and time constraints allow only one..and they are like 2 weeks apart, the GOTO in Penfield IL, or AC Spectacular in Hutch.. the distance to either is so close to the same, its scary.. so far, a place to stay is still available at either.
I'm leaning to the GOTO, it's AC feature,, but will have a lot of other "stuff" there too...

If you have been to Hutch I would say go to Penfield to see something different and a different area. But it is hard to break tradition and you get to see some people you only see once a year at the show.

Penfield is only 3 hours from me, you could come tour the place lmafo! We have 3 pulls around the same time as the show at Penfield, so I won't make it there. Knoxville IL is our first pull on July 8 Wed night. 2 days later we have Friday night and Saturday night pulls at the Psycho Silo. Friday night I'll pull the 7040 and the 210. The other pulls are just the 210.

I've been to hutch many times and it's always a good time. However this year I am going to try Penfield. Also hoping to make it to the GOTO in Wilmington in September.

I'm going to be back in Hutch this year, and bring my golf cart and the A. Kinda getting to the point of requiring help to crank it, I'll bring my John Deere starter, 15ft long, hook on both ends.

I'll be there with 15 tractors at least, ranging from a D15 LP to a 7045 open station and everything in between, also a trailer load of signs and memorabilia

Looking forward to seeing everyone in Penfield this weekend. Have 2 tractors already there and trying to bring 10 more out with us on Thursday BUT one Semi wants to cause problems. Hope we can get it patched back up and ready to travel.
