Attending and volunteering. I’ll see Dan and Hope Danielson today when I stop by their shop. I’ll ask if there are any confirmed activities or updates. I think the Eastern Division was planning for increased Covid safety procedures, but am almost certain those will be adjusted to the situation in October.
With bells on.
it cannot come soon enough.

I was planning on going - then my college room mate invited me to see the latest iteration of the Grateful Dead in Denver on the same weekend. I'm going to wrap some railfanning in Colorado and a ride on the Zephyr through the Rockies into the trip. I'm sorry I will miss this York.
Paul
My wife and I will be there. Can't wait to get back to this happy place.
I’ll be there, with grandson.
I live less then an hour so I will be there Thursday and Friday. Get ready for Round the clock, and Olive Garden for good eats.
I miss York so much. Dad and I have gone since 86. We have lost some dear friends but I have wonderful memories of times spent together.

Thanks, I will keep an eye on their website and see if I can get registered.
My dad and I are planning on going. It will be here before we know it.

I plan to be there! Itching to go!

If not, please let your Forum friends know if you are going by telling us that here.
I have only gone to York once, with my wife and young children back in 1995, and we had a great time, including visiting the Choo Choo Barn, PRR Museum, TCA, a ride on the steam train through Amish country (will never forget the smiles of the beautiful young Amish girls), as well as the Show.
It will be so nice, God willing, to meet many of you folks in person. Arnold
This clearly did not belong in the 3-rail traditional forum since it specifically is discussing the fall York meet. I has been moved to the appropriate forum.
I made my hotel Reservations and look forward to a few days with fellow modelers and hobbiest.
Trainmaster04, pre pay and they mail it to you. Not sure how they plan to handle those like myself that paid for the ones canceled.
i might just pay again and be done with it
I met with Dan Danielson this morning and he confirmed the following for the October York Show:
- Registration will open online on or before July 17th. An announcement will be made through the TCA email list prior.
- They expect the tables to sell out. Aisles will be wider for adequate social distancing, causing the removal of around 170 tables.
- Member tables will be in the Black and Yellow Halls.
- Monday activity - Movie Night in the Blue Hall. Under Siege 2, Steven Seagal is the cook on a train in this one?
- Tuesday Night Reception 5:30p-7p. Hall TBD, finger food, etc.
- No activities on Wednesday.
- Show opens Noon on Thursday.
All information should be considered as subject to adjustment. Hope this helps your planning.
Got my hotel, and my April 2020 badge is already in the car, I'm ready!
I'll also be able to deliver two locomotives for a customer that have been sitting under my layout for two years! I was hoping he forgot them, but he has a better memory than I do.
Air, Hotel & Car reservations made for Fall York 2021....

Thanks for posting. I don't know what I was hoping for earlier in the week, but a Monday night movie and a Tuesday night reception doesn't really motivate me to come out early. Particularly with an empty day after the events and before the show opening.
Memories of great bandit shows swirl in my head, but that's delusional and sort of like being able to get a new 65 Mustang for $1,995. It's not gonna happen.

I dunno, pent-up demand, pent-up supply, and the TCA meet is short 170 tables ... sounds like promising conditions for bandit meets.
I never attended the legendary "back in the day" meets, but I imagine the bandit meets in October ought to good by recent standards. Hope I can go!
You forgot "pend - up money"..
