Default End of a Great Era....tell us of your PHILLY SHOW experiences ?

Posted By: bobw

A few memories from Willow Grove:

- The first year I had a table was 1984 or 1985, I forget, and my neighbors were Ted Lanting to my right, non sports Dick Sikes to my left with Levi and Jim behind me. Halls Nostalgia was across the aisle against the wall. There was NO space behind the 6 foot tables.

- My first stay at the four star "George Washington Motor Lodge".

- Every show on Friday night in the coatcheck room by Ernie Montella's table there was a uniform collector whose name I believe was Jay and he would show me items from his game worn flannel collection. I remember him showing me Rogers Hornsby's St Louis Browns uniform.

- Not being able to move in the aisles because of the crowds.

- One year there was a rainstorm during set up and water was pouring in the back door and soaking peoples stuff.

- One year ex Dodger Wes Parker had a table selling Dodger photos.
