I posted on December 20th that I will not go to Cabin Fever this year being concerned about COVID & my family safety. Worth mentioning that I had my two vaccine shots & was waiting to take the third booster shot.
Well, we plan as much as we can, but The Lord’s will was a little different. I started showing COVID symptoms on December 21st; luckily my wife was away with her mom, and I asked her to stay in our little shore cabin while I am fighting this virus. Home rapid test showed positive, and later PCR showed positive as well.
My wife insisted to return home wearing a N95 mask 24/7 to take care of me, and I am grateful to her.
I almost got hospitalized on Christmas day when my Saturated Oxygen level dropped to 92% with a heart beat at rest in bed @ 100. My MD told me if my Oxygen drops to 91% then I have to call 911 for paramedics.
I am writing this after I recovered and made it to Cabin Fever knowing that I have a lot of antibodies. I also made the decision to wear a mask during the show all the time.
I am 52 year old with no other medical conditions & almost died from COVID. I know that it’s a matter of freedom & choice; but to my surprise, there was less than 50 people in the entire show that had a mask on. The show did not mandate wearing a mask, but they put signs that it is recommended by the CDC to wear a mask. I can tell you that my heart is already aching for the hundreds of elderly who attended without a mask, and will suffer what I have been trough. I was thinking during the show that I may not see many of these kind people in the future shows if they got infected.

Yes Nick, she's done some vinyl stickers, but not for me--makes those just as easily but there are size limits to what the machine can do. Most sign shops these days cut vinyl stickers or signs from almost any good digital image.

Scanned and cleaned up the logo from a catalog reprint then my daughter used it to cut a stencil with her "Circut" stencil machine. Then painted through the stencil onto the wood.
Cool. Does she have a Cricut Machine?

My daughter that teaches art uses these in her classroom and my wife just bought one.
That logo came out really nice!! Has she done any vinyl stickers with it? (Thinking of all the steam stickers I could put on my van windows… 😂)

Jared will you have the usual "for sale" area as in the past ?
Yes, there will be the usual Consignment Sales Area. With the online auctions requiring a little less staff, we should have more staff to help the check in/ check out in this area as well! Thanks!
Will we also need to pay/report any sales in the consignment area regarding the new IRS $600+ report ?

What a great display!
The travel crate also looks great!

Yes, she's been using one for a few years now which has come in handy for me.

Had this box made to bring the big Marklin machine shop to Cabin Fever. Oh well...what's another year when you're having fun.
I love that Logo Brent.
How did you do it? Woodburner? Brand?

you will be missed. :(

I have reluctantly decided to stay away this year as well. As of today Pennsylvania has the 3rd highest covid positivity rate in the nation at 89%.
-
I will not be there this year.
A good friend scheduled his wedding for January 15th.
-
Pennsylvania now has one of the fastest rising hospitalization rates in the country due to covid (up 40% in the last two weeks up to 23 Dec). I'm waiting to see what happens before deciding to attend this year.

Thanks Jared. Will you have wi-fi in the building this year? That's the only way I could participate in the "online only" auction; don't believe there was any wi-fi there in the past.
There has always been internet available but you had to pay for it. I was never a fan but I'm very happy to tell you that it was recently (this year) opened up to free access guest wifi. I tested it last weekend and it is quite good. There are access points in each room and my understanding is that each will handle ~300 each so there should not be an issue. Thanks!

Hello all!
First sorry for my lack of posts. I assure it is only an artifact of being very busy this year!
As of now we are very much planning to have to the show. We have been advertising in all the usual places. Attached is a flyer for this year. We have made some minor tweaks. The show time change is more an adjustment to "what happens at the show" more than trying to make a change. No one will be rushed out Sunday, we'll have air on in the morning, etc. However Friday and Saturday have always been the busy days so we are adjusting to this new schedule.
As for the Covid situation - We will be following all guidelines as required. We will certainly be encouraging masks and distancing to the best of everyone's ability. Again, any requirements will be those place on us.
The auctions have shifted to all Online Only bidding. The plan is to however still have the items on site for inspection and pickup following the sales. Bidding can be done on phones, tablets, laptops, etc and we plan to have some minimal bids accepted for those without devices. Terms and information for this will be coming soon.
We missing seeing everyone at the show and are certainly hoping we are able to enjoy the weekend as we all have missed the comradery this past year.

Good luck guys, I hope you enjoy it very much; and stay safe. I will pass this year trying not to expose my 85 year old mother in law who is now living with us to COVID.

"are they at least requiring masks?"
God , I hope not !
-
Don't mean to be a grinch, but let's hope there's no post-holiday surge in covid from the omicron variant. Given the large crowds, are they at least requiring masks?
-
It sure is tempting to try and make the trip out there!!
-
That's good news 😀
