I'll be going, more than likely on Friday.


Typically a lot less people there more time to actually stop and speak to dealers without feeling pushed around by everyone else...


Hope the weather holds out, looks like a good weekend for the event!

That show was kind of lame this year. They probably could have fit the whole thing in the main building. Its kind of sad really, I remember in the past you could easily spend 6 hours there. This year I was done walking around in less than 2.

You didn't miss anything

The show was bad this year was no where near what the show use to be. Other then Lou from strobes n more adamson, and some towing company selling amber lights I didn't see any one else selling lights. Whelen and Power arc were there with their displays. There were a lot of venders that didn't come back after Saturday. it was the first show I went there and didn't come home broke. I spent more at hooters that afternoon.

Pretty sure the Chief's Show is bound to a contract for the Big-E property next year...


I've heard rumor they 'might' (RUMOR ONLY) be looking at moving around New England Various Locations... .to attract different people and different venue's.... Wait and see.....

They are in contract for the space for another few years. The show is failing, it needs a face lift in the worst way.

I went on Friday and was disappointed. Show is getting smaller and smaller every year.

Not a lot of dealers showed up.
