Sounds like a good time. Pick up business cards so you can double back on things you may not be able to budget right now. The tours sound really cool. I'd like to see the Sutliff operation. Should be fun.

We're off to a great start. The weather is perfect. The Richmond Club had a goodly bunch of folks at the Legends Beverage Co, and the BBQ, suds, conviviality and weather went perfectly with the puffing.

Update - There was some tobacco at today's swap meet and most were gone within minutes of being put out.

Get to the show when the gates open at 9a and look quick for the tables with tobacco.

I saw a sketch of that guy with you in the second photo yesterday; it was on the wall of our post office.

I’m so glad I was able to make it to the show today. Met some exceedingly nice folks, including several I’ve interacted with in these forums, Facebook groups, etc. if you were there but we didn’t actually shake hands, I’m sorry - hopefully next time. Cheers all!

I’m pretty heartbroken that I didn’t get to go this year. I’d been looking forward to it since the last show and was disappointed when it was cancelled last year. I sadly had to miss this year’s show due to throat surgery, but I’m gonna be there next year, God willing.

Glad that y’all had a great time!

Was Jimmy Craig there? How was the crowd/vendors? Any shots of the venue?

Sanzini,
I remember seeing you there a couple of times. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to speak with you!

I had a great time at the show. Actually bought a few pipes because the price so low, I couldn't turn them down. Sutliff loaded me up with a bunch of tobacco, too.
