Where would YOU rather go?

[JDgreen227]

Wife and I were planning to take her folks to Bronners (worlds largest Xmas store) yesterday, wasn't my idea. It had rained overnight and although the forecast and skies both said 100% clear weather, mom in law insisted it was going to rain so they didn't want to go. Of course it was a simply beautiful day. So now they are going today which is forecasted to have thumderstorms or be blisteringly hot and humid...

Told my wife this morning I wanted to go to the car show downtown because I had planned to do that today...my in laws are upset with me, well TOO BAD, I am upset with them for chickening out on yesterday.

Would you rather go to some inane Christmas store that is open 360 days a year when it's 90 degrees, or go to the best car show in the area that is only held twice a year?

DUHHHH !!!!! Guess I answered my own question....bye now....:laughing:

Last time I was at Bronner's was when I was a senior in High school. It was a German IV class trip. That would have been 1982 or 83. Neat place, but I can't see it making a difference whether or not it was raining, or if it was 90 degrees when you went. If I remember correctly it was indoors and probably air conditioned. Of course I'm also not sure I would want to go to a car show in 90 degree weather either.
That said, I'll be on a golf course in Newport News, Virginia this afternoon during the hottest part of the day. Duh!

Best solution in my opinion: You go your way, and they go their way.

Do people really buy Christmas stuff all year? I don't understand or get it. Why are they open year round?

I don't get it or understand it either...maybe because I didn't go. Now, seeing this '57 Chevy ragtop and '55 Cadillac boat (yes, it was really a Cadillac) made the whole show worth seeing it itself.

Went there with the wife 20 years ago. I'd rather get a root canal without dope than go back. Same thing with the chicken dinner thing. Way, way, overrated. Going to a tractor show next weekend, Hudson mills, near Dexter.

We did the chicken dinner thing at Zvender's (sp?) about Y2K...yup way overhyped.

Very simple...enough people buy Christmas stuff all year to enable them to cost effectively remain open.

I have been to Bronner's. I feel your pain.

If you get forced to go to Frankenmuth, I may have found something that could save your sanity....
