Title: Hickory NC show update
Post by: MDriskill on October 03, 2024, 12:03:28 PM
Gents, I traded notes with Tony McDaniel this week and was happy to learn the Hickory show is still on for Friday November 1, and Saturday November 2. This is in spite of the violent flood damage to western North Carolina and east Tennessee from hurricane Helene, which is almost beyond belief.

Hickory is on Interstate 40, located east of the worst stuff, BUT I-40 and I-26 are closed west of Asheville NC and won't be back anytime soon, with sections heavily damaged and bridges destroyed. And the NC Dept of Transportation says to consider all smaller roads in that part of NC closed.

So if you plan to come, definitely keep an eye on usable routes! (From Knoxville TN, for example, I will likely loop north via I-81 and I-77, then hit I-40 east of Hickory.)

Just bought a table yesterday!  Talked to him as well, coming from Ohio no issue.  Hickory really was hit that badly.  I have never been to this show, first for me.

Was “not” hit that badly.    I love how you can’t correct things after a little while!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know if any vendor is going to be selling GRT triggers at the Hickory, N.C. show?
