So I went up to Charlie's yesterday. I went last year for the first time, will try to attend every year going forward! It's just a great time talking with him and Justin and the other people in attendance.
Hope everyone enjoys them. There is some seriously cool stuff!

Nice post. Great pics. The track conversion on the WD is interesting. Someone asked me about that from a picture I posted some time ago. Wonder how hard it is to find all the pieces?

Absolutely great, was there 4 years ago, lots of additions since, was thinking of going this year but health prevented it, maybe next year.

Thanks Lynn, if anyone else has pictures, post 'em up! That's a great shot of Charlie and Arland.

I got there around 3 o’clock Saturday. As always, had a great time. Miss Mavis and Mr. Charlie have put together one heck of a collection. Every year I go, and every year I see something new. I love to hear the stories of each piece. Thank you to the Widlund’s for sharing a lifetime collection with us.

One thing Charlie is missing, is a spout that snaps onto a 10 gallon oil can. The top of this can has only a ring for a spout to snap over the top of. Most cans are threaded, but this one is not. He would like to find a spout for it.

Justin is from time to time, not sure if Charlie checks in or not.

I'll add a couple of mine Mike. Such a great show by the Widlund family. I snuck Carolyn Lepper and Nick Gubbels into that first photo of Charlie and Arland.
