Just thought I would pass this on some of you who are not in the “industry”.  This is the largest machinery show on the West Coast and it only comes around every other year.  The dates are July 29-Aug 3or4th(some where in that area)

This show has everything from million dollar machines to Kreig pocket screw tools to various size vacuum press to veneers and tools(should I go on).  It’s not a show just for the big boys.  Just when you go there, tell them name is your company name and your the owner.  Sales reps will sent you a wealth of info in the mail.

Cost of “at the door entrance fee” is $30.00  No kids under 14, I believe.  Use the same pass for multiple days.  And… if you Must take the wife and kids, or Husband/fiance, DisneyLand is right across the street.  Best of both worlds 

Get there early,  the Registration lines get pretty long, if not, you’ll spend an hour waiting to get your entrance pass.  I’d rather spend an hour waiting in this line than an hour in the “It’s a Small World” line.

Bring you checkbook/cash.  Some people will take credit cards for the small stuff.  If you go on the last day, bring a truck.  They usually will sell the display models at a reduced rate.  I bought my 14″ Powermatic band saw for $500 6 years ago.
