    Think of it as a bachelor party with a ton of firefighters. Maybe that will work

    It's all new equipment, no flea market that I am aware of.

    We will be there again this, taking up two booths probably in the main hall again.

    I will post the booth numbers when we get them.

    There will be a busload (50 or so) of us from Atlantic Canada heading down again this year. I've gotten a few good buys at both the trade show and the flea market at Progress FD. My third time on this trip, and as always, looking forward to it.

    Greater Phila. Search and Rescue will be there as usual, think the booth's in the normal spot (hallway between the two bigger halls). I'm scheduled to work that weekend, but I'm going to attempt to take off for it...

    Negative my good man, but Senior prom night is always awesome because we drive our juniors in to prom on the engine and tower ladder lights and sirens.

    It's not a huge flea market, it's held inside their banquet room, but there are some pretty good buys there- Memorabilia, t-shirts, some antique apparatus parts, there were a couple of Q's there last year, and a few lights. I picked up a couple of restorable Aerodynics there a couple of years ago for 30 bucks for the pair. I'm hoping to get there again this year as well.

    Who is the "THEIR" and when and where will it be in "Their Banquet room"??

    Who can provide a link to this flea market or show where it is advertised?

    Who are the Contact persons, for the Flea Market, specifically?

    The "When" is typically the Saturday of the Expo. The "where" is at the Progress Fire Station. I've never seen a link to the flea market and as for contact persons, I would suggest contacting Progress Fire Company directly and maybe they will point you in the right direction.

    I have e-mailed them, with no response, as of yet.

    If they ever reply, I will make a note on here with the specific information, for all to see.

    We did that show 2 years in a row and it was a good show for us,but that was before every Tom,Dick and Harry was selling Whelen,Havis and other products at the show. I think we did like $5000 just in Single and Double Talons in 2 days.We always got stuck in the Horse Barn with no a/c and I sweat like a pig.Good show though, and the Crab Cakes at the Fire House Restaurant were awesome. I would go just for those! Unlike NYS Chiefs how,this was a BUYING show and agencies placed orders rather than kicking the tires and and grabbing free promo items for all 14 kids back home.
    I should go,and maybe stop at Trucksville Fire and a few others while I am down there.

    Yes, I work for the radio shop.
    No, I will not program your radio.
    No, I will not program your scanner.
    No, I won't tell you how the system works.

    Now what was your question?

    If you're gonna kick the tires please don't pee on my grill.Either follow through or let me know that: you blew your paycheck on beers,your ol' lady took it all, you really don't want the item, you got laid off.
