The indoor April show at Enfield, CT was rescheduled to be an outdoor show in Manchester, CT because of COVID-19. The show was very well attended.

| 8:01 Now we're talking. About 30 tables set up in the old apple orchard. Plenty of insulators and a great turnout for the clubs spring get together. We were really pleased to see so many making the trip not only from the New England area but NY, PA, and NJ. Almost forgot about the guy from Illinois the wandered in. |
"King John" was crowned!

| Club exalted leader, John Rajpolt, in an email to club members, had hoped for a big "crown". He said he meant "crowd" but it was a topo error. Well he got both! Here he is proclaiming May 8th, 2021 as Yankee Pole Cat Insulator Club Day. BTW, crown is a 4D design. |

| Somehow John thought the "crown" that he is holding was a gift from Bill Meier. |
Lots of friendly faces.

| YPC May 2021 - You Can In Fact Cross the Hudson River |
 |
I have had a running joke that all river crossings over the Hudson River must close on the weekend to prevent show attendance. Well, here is photographic proof that on May 8, you were able to cross it coming East to the show. Whether these guys made it over going West home? I am not sure. Justin Stoudt, Jeff Katchko, Dave Strzamski |
Interesting go-withs.

A neat "mirror image" embossing error was at the show:

So this is what's actually blotted out in EIN [070]. I understand that this is one of only two or three known. It was not for sale.
You can see a "flipped" version of this [id=625227909; here]. |
