The SWON show in Paris is being held again on Sunday February 5 at the Paris Fairgrounds.

I hope to see all of the regulars there and hopefully a few new people too! The lunch is great!

If all goes well for me I might do the Niagara Falls show on Sat and Paris on Sunday.

Niagara Falls? I wasn't aware of this one.

@ Paul: Can we get the calendar back up and running please? I miss all these shows. :'(

Big snow storm expected on Sunday, Feb. 5. Hope it waits until the show is well over.

For any that can get to the show, the breakfast is great; the roast beef on a kaiser is so good at lunch time, it has become the highlight of the winter show.

How was the Paris show?  Anyone gain weight in their stomachs and lose weight in their wallets?   :D

  Smile from your heart.  ;D

As usual ;D

I picked up a few items that a friend was looking for, and also had a lovely discussion with some forum members in attendance (rscoins, sudzee, radarseeker, myself), and also the usual chats with some of the dealers.

The weather was a little miserable first thing in the morning, but by late morning, the roads had largely cleared of snow in all but the worst areas where there may have been some blowing snow out in the country. Attendance looked good from what I could tell.

I noticed a lot of good paper at the show, and much activity around it.

I also noticed a couple of members of this site enjoying the roast beef on a kaiser, as did I a couple of times.
