The show will be in Bloomsburg PA, which is right in the center of PA off of interstate 80. The exit off of 80 is the Buckhorn exit - old exit 34 (don't remember new number). Heard that hotels are booked an hour in each direction. From VA, my guess would be that the easiest way without getting lost would be to take 81N to 80, and go west a ways(about 30 minutes from 81/80 interchange) on 80. I believe there are signs to the fairgrounds form there. If you're more adventuresome, you can jump off of 81 onto Route 11 in Marysville(Harrisburg neighborhood) and just stay on 11 all the way into Bloomsburg. You'd basically follow the river all the way up. Timewise, I don't think there would be much difference. The Bloomsuburg Fairgrounds is supposed to be the largest in PA, and I've heard rumor that the whole thing will be filled just about to capacity with IH/Farmall/etc. items. Surely there will be some stuff for sale - who knows what you'll find! I passed a few trailerloads from Indiana on 80 today on their way there already! Tractor pulls will be Thursday and Friday at 4pm. The Thursday pull is figured to go well into Friday morning from what I've heard, but any open classes will run earlier in the evening becasue the town has a noise ordinace after midnight, and they want to run the hot stuff while there is still a croud to see them pull. Don't know if I'll be there much or not - taking classes at PSU and it's "supposed" to be the first dry week in a long time, so lots of hay is on the agenda too!
