How bout right in front of the cow palace at 10:00? Seriously, there is actually a cow palace :)

[guntruck]

Cow palace? Well we'll be there.

[jeffex]

I'll be there on the 25th {thurs}. I'm cutting
in the catonsville MD. area I know some of the guys
cutting in my area but don't recognize any of them
here on lawnsite.com. It is easy to talk with
lawn guys who are not competetion!! My area is pretty
good at keeping prices up and start ups come and go
every year. Only us serious lawn KOOKS who love the
job stay with it in BALTIMORE because of the summer
heat.

Ack! Don't forget guys. 10:00 in front of the cow palace!

[Green Finger]

I'll be there!

I called and the guy on the phone said get there early, they are expecting a large crowd.

[Vandora Lawn & Landscape]

Don't forget, 10:00 COW PALACE on the 24th.

Also, how much does it cost?

[guntruck]

Hey any of you Md guys know the times of the show for these two days?

[gogetter]

What kind of stuff can one expect to see at these shows? I'm almost 2 hours away from Timonium (I know because I go to the big reptile show there every year!), but I'd make the drive if it sounds good.

From what I heard, there are gonna be seminars on turf issues. Also, there is gonna be a TONE of equipment to demo. Plus you get to meet and talk with others of the industry.

[Green Finger]

They also are going to have recertification classes.

For one day it cost about $50.00 bucks. Kinda steep. I hope they have roller coasters.

[jordanlawnsrvc]

Hi everyone. First time post here at lawnsite. I've been reading your post for a long time now but had to reply to this one. I'm also about two hours away. Is it worth the trip and Greenfinger: is that FIFTY DOLLARS! pp for the entry or for the seminar???!!! Also, the wife wants to know if there is a mall close by?

[guntruck]

One of our best malls is really close less than 10 minutes away, lol.

[jordanlawnsrvc]

Vandora and Guntruck: Thanks for the info. I doubt if she'd actually turn me loose and alone with all the toys there. LOL. I'll try to be there by ten. Depending on traffic it's not that bad of drive. Exit 17 off I-83.

I want to look at Exmark and Scag if they're there and generally see whats out there overall. You don't get a chance to see this stuff all in one place out here. I'm looking to buy another Z rider in early March or early next year; this one with a bagger for better fall cleanup etc. Been looking real close at the Exmark 52 and 60" lazer. Just wondering if there is any adverse stress on the spindles when pulling the load of the blower.

[Vandora Lawn & Landscape]

I just checked up on the expo. Its from Jan 23-25 from 9-5. There is no entry fee. Only fee is for courses.

[Man Joe]

Thanks for information on the show. It's not too far from me, about 30 minutes or so. Will try to be there.

[Richard Martin]

Okay. So we have everything straight let's go through this.

It costs nothing to get in. We will be meeting in front of the Cow Palace at 10:00am on Wednesday, January 24.

Is this correct?

[Green Finger]

Cullen,

Thanks for the update. I don't who I spoke to but I'm glad you checked. Free is good for me.

We should all wear a certain color so we can identify each other. (I know that might sounds corney)

[Jerrys Lawn Service]

Maybe we should all wear our RAVENS shirts or jackets!

GO RAVENS!

[Vandora Lawn & Landscape]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RAVENS! Well unfortunately I don't own any ravens crap, like we'll be sooooooo different wearing that. We'll I'm gonna make a sign. Yeah, I'm gonna look like a fool. But everyone come look for the 18-year old fool with the lawnsite.com logo BLOWN up. :) I hope to see a lot of you guys there. If any out of towners need help finding the place, please call me (410) 377-8186 or email me at gcvandora@home.com
