Hmmmm. It's a 7 hr drive for me so doable for a weekend. The seminars worth the extra cost?

I am really looking forward to this year's show. With it being in New England I think it's going to be the best one yet.

If anybody from the form is going there please come up and say hey to me. I will even let you buy me a drink :-)

I thought Bear's was a horror-show. While the food is good, the wait line and the dearth of sufficient seating is a deal breaker for me. Once with that side show novelty was enough.

I'm sure I won't say the same about NAHBS!

I'll be going down with a couple folks from Vermont. Psyched that it's (somewhat) local this year.

Definitely going, not sure if Saturday or Sunday, couple hour drive for me.

Twenty minute drive for me...
I'm on the fence

What I meant by an exhibitors list if its available is, will Dario Pergoretti be in attendance?

FlashUNC · #24 12-14-2017, 09:43 AM

About 2 hours drive would be my limit for the show.

But I've been to two, volunteered at one and don't have much of itch to scratch at it.

It should be about 3 1/2 hrs for me. I'm delighted that it will be in NE this year. I think a pal from Montpelier will go down with me. How 'bout the UpperValley Paceline? Easypeasy for you guys!

Anyway, I'm leaning towards Saturday, just to see a lot of bikes, but maybe Friday. I hope to make the acquaintance of a few forumites too. I'll be wearing my Paceline cap.

do tickets for stuff like this ever sell out? Or will I be able to purchase one the week off?

Its not something I want to commit to this much time in advance. Be cool to go but not really a big deal if I don't

Have you been since they moved to the big location? Also, what time did you pop in? Go there at noon and you're screwed for a while, go before 11:45 and you're all set. There will always be a line, but I've never waited more than 15 minutes.

I'd think the last option on the list:

Two Day, Friday/Sunday
Admission to NAHBS Friday March 10 and Sunday March 12, 2017

would be a bit less expensive.

That having been said...Hartford is a 2 hour drive for me...hmmm.

dumbod · #29 12-14-2017, 10:07 AM

I've gone to the site to purchase tickets and see I can register for all three days for $60 or for all three days plus the seminars for $120. That's great but I can't find a list of the seminars anywhere.

Does anyone know where a seminar list/schedule can be found?

Thanks

Looks like it's a 6-7hr drive from the Washington, DC area. Doable, and looks like a lot of fun/info. Will see what I can do about going. I had my eyes set on the RedHook Crit this coming year. Mrs will prob not let me attend both.

Seems close enough to justify the drive and walk around for a day or so.
