When has ANYONE ever heard of 2 HRS ON FRIDAY & till 4:00 Sat for a national mart?
Maybe the folks will confuse the preshow with the national? |

Jon,
Looks like my packet says set up Table holders Friday 2-4.
Mart Sat. 9-4:30
Mart Sun 9-2
So most of the buying will be among the table holders on Friday |

Jon,
I agree that the Friday deal is nuts but what is so bad about 4:00pm on Saturday? By 4:00 most of the people in the mart room have always been packing up. I am listening. I will listen. I just don't get it...yet. The Friday think is bad.

I have yet to talk to single person who thinks the Friday hours make any sense.
They should have had 8-10 set-up on Friday, then open til 4:30.
Really a waste of a Friday, for us working class

too much wasted time for set up
Why not at least 2-6 or 12-6?????
Sat 9-5 would be correct

Good afternoon WWT members!
In an effort to serve you better, WWT has changed it contracted dates with the NAWCC so our members do not have a lag/off day in between the two shows.
Our new dates are now - July 18-19, 2018.
That is a Wednesday and Thursday with the NAWCC starting Friday.
WWT is always working hard to make your trip easier and more cost effective. |

Bottom line: Who in their right mind would plan a watch show with a 3 day interval going into a Sat mart ONLY to LEAVE FOR THE WEEKEND to be with families and wives/girlfriends?
Thus, the DORK SHOW! |

Then I was told incorrectly.
This new fact makes it even worse--three days if idle NOTHING! Who will stay? |

| But, the fact remains that those 1 table holders Friday will sneak around and snag watches from 2-4:00 PM |

Does everyone know that it is quite aways from the convention to ANY hotel/housing in York?
Be prepared to rent a car or hitch rides from hotels to the mart! |
