Boston RV Show January 15-18

For many years, Boston was one of the biggest shows in the northeast, and it ran for 9 days. I still recall one year when it ended on a Sunday that the Patriots were in the Super Bowl, and they expected all exhibitors to stay until 5PM...even though the place was empty by 2:00. Might have been back in 1997. The Boston show was not held last year, and Foxboro RV Show saw some big crowds in a small space. Boston returns to the Bayside Expo this year for a long weekend, with hours on Friday through Monday. Stop by our booth, as Allison will be there for most of the time, and Brenton will be helping on Saturday. The weather looks OK, with some possible precip on Sunday or Monday...and crowds won't be diminished by Patriot play-offs. Sadly, I won't get to see much of my Saints on Saturday, as I will be running a wrestling tourney over in Griswold (the Wolverines had a big win over Montville last night, with Jeff T, a Grill & Creamery staff member contributing a key pin). Also have a JV event on Monday, so hopefully Jen will bring the boys to the gym, as I will be there for a long couple of days. We enjoyed Reed's 1st birthday party last Sunday, and apologize for the parking struggles on the snowy driveway. Reed loved his little cake, and Brock liked singing the birthday song so much, that it has been requested at bedtime all week. He was also very concerned about Reed getting his shots at the doctor today for his one year visit. Both boys were very well behaved at the service for Carol Nardi yesterday, but it is not easy explaining to Brock about being quiet in church. Speaking of quiet, it is nice to hear the phones ringing again for summer reservations, as things get pretty quiet here in December, before the rush of January callers. Still sites for all dates, but rentals for Cajun are almost full, and sites with full hook-ups for Memorial Day and Bluegrass will probably be sold out in another couple of weeks. Lots of folks excited about Marty Stuart for bluegrass weekend, as I guess he has a weekly TV show...and many dedicated followers. Despite the slight resemblance, I don't believe he is related in any way to Brit rocker Rod Stewart (or "Year of the Cat" singer Al Stewart, which is probably why they spell it differently). For Cajun/Zydeco, Donna the Buffalo will be back...and they will also be at the Mohegan Sun a couple of weeks before appearing at Strawberry Park. Time to enjoy some of this sunshine and warm temps!!
