do you have a list of venders that will be there ?
maybe a good chance to save on shipping

Here's a list of vendors who will or may be there.

Spoolfool Productions. (Tell me what you need and I can bring it. Will have a few blems for cheap).
Brian Weaver/ G Body parts.
Don Cruz / Cruz Performance
Oliver and Son / Call Jeremy if you need something
TA Performance/ Call Mike and tell him what to bring.
AZ GN/ Call Gene and tell him what to bring.
Classic Industries/ Craig has been known to showcase some of their new stuff and should have a stack of catalogs that always go fast.
Hood Skinz / Will be bringing a dozen Hood skins./ Has always sold out of whatever he brings. (If you buy one at the show, I can bring it back to my shop in Costa Mesa. You got two weeks to pick it up.)
Turbo Lou/ Will be giving a tech talk on grooming and hygiene care of farm animals and tips on how to keep your masculinity after selling your Turbo Buick and buying a Dodge.

Hope this helps.

Just talked to Eric.
Raffle tickets will be two bucks each. Just like last year. The weather looks to be sunny and 73 degrees. Don't forget to bring a chair. Thanks to Turbo Lou and a few others, the long haul prize is up to $500.00. We can always use help parking cars. When you pull in. Keep it tight. No more than four feet between cars please. Here's a link to the website. Please be sure to thank the "A" team of vendors who support this great event. Buicks@Bates

That's great!
I was hoping he'd go on the road with his program.
The girls in BG really miss him!
