I attended the 2014 event at Dover Furnace which was pretty poorly attended. I thought the 2015 event did not take place and as of September 2015 there were no plans for 2016, which was the basis for Mike and Susan taking the last weekend in September date.
Again I have to agree, the Vintagers knew the conflict in dates and also talked to Mike about this, and they still scheduled this event on Mike's date. So yes I guess the Vintagers are really trying to pull apart the SxS community with this, separate the vendors, make people decide which event to attend..... come Hell or High Water......Why ?
Just don't get it, oh yeah forgot about egos !
