LEROY HORNING’S
11TH.
ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE
If you missed this
one…. you missed a fantastic time!!!!!
Leroy Horning and Jeff Blose put on a very impressive show. This was our first year to attend the show, and boy have we missed a lot in the past years. The weather was very nice. It even got a bit warm a couple of the days.
Leroy had us set up
inside of his building ( museum ). There were collectors set up everywhere.
There was always a steady stream of pedal car collectors coming through. It was
great to get to visit with old friends, and to make new ones also. Face it, once
a year is just not enough for all of us toy collectors to visit with one and
other. People showed up from everywhere. They came from
The wheeling and
dealing was brisk and worth watching. If anyone tells you that the Pedal car
hobby is slow or even dead, you best not believe him or her. It is strong and
getting stronger all the time.
The 5th was the official Open House at Leroy’s. I would only venture to guess that there were at least 1000 people come through that evening. I know that our parts booth was non stop all night. Some old friends came by to get parts, but there were many collectors that we had never met until that night. They were all excited about the hobby, and anxious to get parts for their newest project.
We would like to thank
Leroy Horning and Jeff Blose for their wonderful hospitality, and a very fun
show. If any of you have missed going to this open house, then get ready for
next year. You will not be disappointed.
