Anyone like the idea of possibly incorporating a Coal Burner's Swap Meet during this gathering? Just putting this out there to see if it might be of some interest.

I was thinking others, if like myself, may have accumulated some excess coal burning paraphernalia that may be of interest to some other members. :roll:

I like the idea of some raffles (I know its unfair to lay that all on Rich) but it would be kinda fun :P (free ton of quality anthracite from Richards private stockpile) :lol:
as far as the swap thing... sounds fine, im just not sure their is enough people or products to really make it viable. I think a better way is IF you do indeed have some useful stuff, bring it and make a few inexpensive tickets to draw a winner (the only problem is I know some states have laws requiring permits for a raffle that "charges money"). I don't think its a big deal or if theirs anyway to get over that hurdle? just my thoughts...

This is the best idea that my garage has heard in a long time. Hopefully the venue has parking spaces for tractor trailers? :lol:

George post your pictures of what you might bring, anyone coming could let you know if they are interested.
