Default Artisan Guitar Show, 4/7 - 4/9, PA...who's going?

Hi everyone!

Just curious to see if any AGF folks are planning on coming out to the Artisan Guitar show in April....I'll be there as an exhibitor.
Some heavy names showing up to exhibit (Somogyi, Manzer, Montelone etc.)...

Anyone got plans to come? It would be great to meet up face-to-face with some AGF people!

Cheers,
Martin

Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to put it on the calendar. I would love to go as a spectator, looks like a pretty good schedule! And only 5 hours drive from my place, not too bad.

Although I have musical events scheduled for that Saturday, I hope to be there, probably Sunday, rather than Friday.

I just checked the calendar and it looks to be open for this event. I will be making the trek! I sing Sunday AM so it will likely be Friday and Saturday for me.

Boy, that is quite a line-up. To me that looks better than Woodstock which I thought was the premier show in the NE.

It is just under 300 miles for me, 4 hours 45 minutes....hmmmmmmm

I would have to take Friday off, stay overnight, come back Saturday afternoon? I really can not allow myself to buy another guitar right now, trying to downsize, so would it be worth it????? Would like to meet some of the builders on the list though.

Tom,
Since we had planned to meet at the [cancelled] Memphis show, perhaps we could encourage you to attend this show instead? This screams ... ROAD TRIP ...
