I'll be there but only to participate in the FPC. For those of you who are familiar with Hausmann's be prepared for a drastic change in the parking situation. Looks like no more camping or parking in the field we are used to using for this event.

I'll be there Thursday and Friday. Do you have any idea what the parking arrangements will be?

Kathy and I will be there. I'm sure hoping other New Englanders will be there too.

[QUOTE=Dean Romig;279010]Has the PGCA been asked to set up a display booth at Hausmann’s/Vintagers??

At this late date, I certainly hope so Dean.

Speaking on behalf of the AHFCA, I'd like to invite/urge that the PGCA booth be set contiguously to ours. Clearly, the union of these two esteemed organizations is SYNERGISTIC to say the least. (1+1=Grand Slam!!)

Additionally, we're sponsoring the premiere shooting event of the weekend, the 8th Annual (hard to fathom) Fox vs. Parker Challenge so why on earth should we be on opposite ends of the big top?? Granted, we'll have to endure three days with "His Eminence" (that Bishop dude) but hell, nothing a handful of opioids can't suppress!!

Also note, that all of the Fox BOD's are PGCA members as well (hmmm, unrequited love, perhaps?) and in the event of any labor shortage, we could certainly keep an eye out on your booth and vice versa. It just seems to make perfect sense but then again, so does the death penalty.....

See you at The Hollow!!

Thanks very much Steve.

I haven't heard anything so I had no idea what the plan was to be.
Kathy and I will be arriving on Friday afternoon and leaving on Sunday morning.

I have three or four PGCA tablecloths and the transient PGCA hanging banner and can ship them to anybody willing to set up a booth for the PGCA and of course, we'll need folks to man the booth.

I'm sorry to say it appears that our PGCA pool of volunteers for these Northeastern events seems to have diminished in the last couple of years. So, hoping it won't fall upon deaf ears - WE NEED A FEW GOOD MEN... AND WOMEN TOO.... *hope that wasn't too loud...*

They are supposedly going to have 3-4 tents for vendors and organizations. I do not know where they are going to put them. And I guess they have the people to fill them.
I know that Vendors will not be able to park at the tents during the event. I would assume that the field will be used for parking. Just camping not allowed. But I don't know for sure.

From what I understand with the info I got so far is that the field we used to park/camp in will not be used for either purpose. Parking will be in the field to the left as you are approaching HH, where in years past they have had instructional shooting set up. There will be a shuttle from the main venue to the parking area.

And no vendor parking at the tents? That should go over like a lead balloon.

The field where the mad jack was will be used for vendor tents.

I could be wrong, as I am frequently, but I believe the info I got.

Mad Jack is listed on the flyer as a side game. I wonder how that will work if there are vendor tents on the field. And on these shuttles....will there be room for gun carts, guns, flats of shells, etc.? Just trying to figure out the logistics.

Ernie told several of us that the plan at that time(June) was that there would be a pigeon ring in “the field” thus no parking or camping there. They plan to use the first fields as you enter for parking and will shuttle.
