The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Old Dominion Stovebolt Society (MD, VA, West VA, DC, DE and PA) Winchester, VA -- TriState Antique Truck Show 25-28 Sept

Time to start talking about TriState, Gang! Good opportunity for anyone in the area who has yet to catch up with us to catch up with us. This is one of the major annual get togethers for the ODSS. If you've been wanting to come out and spend some time with fellow 'Bolters, this is a great opportunity.

More info on the Show web site

Our pictures from last year

Let's get the dialogue rolling!

ODSS Rush Chair

ALL IN!!!!! I'll try to get the cook off his butt and come to.

How far are the fairgrounds (or Ruritan Bldg) from Winchester Regional Airport? My 41 won't be ready by then, so I might fly in....

I'm in!

Jim, the airport is about 10 miles, 15 minutes drive time from the fairgrounds.

Mike B

Will be down from Dover (York) Pa on Saturday for the day hoping to see some big bolts.

Mike B,

Do you or anyone have a physical address for the location of the show? I'm going to contact the airport and see if they have courtesy vehicle. I hope to make it to this one.

J2d8 - your post just doesn't sound right.....

Jim,

They should know right where the fairgrounds are -- Stonewall Ruritan Grounds/Frederick Co. Fairgrounds.

PM me -- if it's that close, one of us should be able to zip over there to pick you up if you need a ride/can't use the courtesy car.

Bring a bed roll and spend the night with us.

John

I cannot make it.
I really enjoyed the show last year so this is a bad one to miss, there are so many great trucks, big and small.
A major wedding event here in Lexington, no chance of that being rescheduled!
Alec

I'm all in. For the 2nd time in ten years I'm even going to pre-register, lol!

your presidential servant,

Cosmo

I'll be there (possibly Thursday after work) Friday and Saturday with family coming to join the fun Saturday afternoon.

Grigg

Sir, I plan to attend and have the 1952 Chevrolet Suburban shell mounted to its frame as rolling stock. Why? I want everyone to see the works-in-progress, compared to last year when we went to a restorer's shop to review the effort. This time the restorer will haul the project to the show. Thank John.

That part of the grounds will I find stove bolt group?

Camsite is along the entrance road on the south end of the property. Otherwise wherever all the stovebolts are in the show.

Here are some pictures from last year -- to help you find us. We're usually not too hard to find. No matter what time of day it is, there's usually someone "on duty" (aka "Passed Out") in Camp Stovebolt. Just wake him up to check in.

As you come in the South Entrance, look for the Stovebolt Flag in the front window of Marlow's motorcoach. It will be the first one past the jiffyjohn on the left.

Nick -- we're all looking forward to seeing the Burb progress!

JM

I'm always camped out at a bluegrass music festival that week. But, I'll try to get over there and see you guys/gals. I did last year, but as mentioned earlier, you all must have been out to lunch.
I'll try to be in communication so we can meet up. Would love to bring the Magic Bus, but doesn't seem likely.

"you all must have been out to lunch"
Not the first time we have been accused of that....especially in Winchester!

From the presidential Bowtie office...

Schedule of events:

Camp Commandant Billy is always the first to camp on Thursday and sets up the 'U-Shaped' corral with Court Jester Mikey. The presidential motorcade will be running solo-ultra-stealth and plans to arrive 1200 hours. Anybody have any 'rattle-can-red'? I'm in need of a little touch-up on the presidential limo... As soon as camp rough-form is in place I will assist Billy and Mikey in the testing of alcoholic beverages to ensure maximum safety for future imbibers.

Please add your ETA's and plans for this great convocation of trucks and friends.

your presidential servant,

Cosmo

Ok. I'm going to try to make it. I've got the chance to come to the truck show and look at all the stovebolts. So I'll be there for a visit Friday or Saturday, maybe both. Who knows, if I can get a few break in runs under my 58's belt maybe I'll drive it up from Richmond.Larry

Cosmo, I plan on coming in on Thursday. I'll be towing in my "Lifeboat". I plan on being there around lunchtime on Thursday. My truck will have to sit this one out. I have no way of bringing it.

not sure if you still need this.

I will definitely be there. I can't wait to see what the "real" stove bolters drive! Is this a good time to bring left over parts, new and old?

Jim,

Yes, bring whatever you have, we often trade/give/sell to each other. Also there is a pretty good swap meet there kind of geared to the big truck crowd but some stuff for the smaller trucks, just have to look harder.

Thanks,

Cosmo

HEAR YE HEAR YE

There will be some important discussion at the Tri-State show annual meeting pertaining to the Devil's Backbone event.

As you were....

OK I'll bite! which Devil's Backbone? the brewery in Lexington or Strasburg's Devil's Backbone?

No No No young Jim. We'll be congregating Down On Highway (1)51. Nelson County, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I'll have to have a long talk with "Rusty". 2 hours down 2 hours back, will be a record for him!

Cosmo, thanks for that highway 1(51) link. That brought back some good old memories!!!

I'm glad I'm young enough not to have to consider him a good singer ...

A poet and a song writer, most definitely. A guitar player, maybe. But a singer??? Fail. My cat sings better than that.

Jim

I am referring to a repeat fall trip to Nelson County VA.

Here is a link to last year's adventure.

What about Winchester??? How bout some Tri State Show planning???

Planning?? For Winchester??? Mikey -- are you sniffing glue again? Planning would take all the fun out of it.

I'm planning, planning on bein there dagnabbitt.
Looking forward to it too. I hear Mikey took my spot last year. I need to reclaim it!

I only kept it warm for ya. I done it no harm.

I seen him thar, that be the truth matey!

Cosmo

Does anyone have a count on stovebolt participant's yet???

Maybe not an official count but off the top of my head I can count anywhere from 12-20 bolters that usually show and that includes a new guy or two every year.
Camp Stovebolt usually ends up being a mix of mostly the Stovebolt gang and ATHS Balt./Wash. Chapter members too.
Plenty of room and the more the merrier so come on down.

Less than one week to go!

I just got off the phone with Cosmo, looking forward to seeing everyone!

Have we procured firewood for the weekend?

The northern alliance will be attending! All two of us!!
