Attached is the 2019 Blytheville Antique Bus Homecoming poster. I have a small issue with the boarder (when printed 11X17) that I need to solve. I will post the corrected TIFF file soon, once resolved. (probably to Google Drive maybe) If you print the TIFF file, it will give far better quality than other formats. I will be doing a 8.5x11 hand-bill version with contact info, etc. I will be providing hand-bills to the Hershey PA bus museum, the Hibbing Greyhound museum, and the Pacific bus museum, etc.. Once I provide the 11x17 file, please feel free to print and share with perspective attendees, or place old bus junkies congregate. I appreciate all the help promoting!

You may have addressed this elsewhere but what defines "antique"? Is there any distinction between ages of buses?

Here's my description: "A national historic exhibition of antique coaches & motor home conversions emphasizing makes/models up to 1980." All models and years are welcome. We had some newer coaches at the 2013 event as well. The more the merrier!

You guys deserve an enormous amount of credit for keeping these old beasties on the road. Great to have a chance to see them.

Otoh the DMV calls anything over 25 years old an antique and I intend to take full advantage of that with my '95 next year.

Here is the 11x17 poster file link. It is a large TIFF file, so you will not be able to view it in Google drive. Just download from Google drive, and print. Please feel free to post or distribute posters wherever bus enthusiast congregate. Soon I will be posting an 8.5x11 flyer version with more event details.

Antique ? driver or bus? Who ever shows up will meet a great bunch of owners! Put faces with forum names. I'll park my 98 home built in the back...And drool over pristine restored and converted coaches..
