| The first
official day of our National Meetings start with the Tailgate Session,
no other event generates quite the same excitement that you will find
here on opening day. Having traveled from near and far, Members
have arrived with great expectations to find that one tool that has been
eluding them. Tool collectors are by nature hunter gatherers, and
they start their day early, before the crack of dawn. Long before the
first shaft of daylight breaks, you'll find them milling
around in anticipation of that first trunk or tailgate to open. Be
prepared to rise early and bring a flashlight if you don't want to miss
out. Bring along a backpack or bag to carry your hunting tools and any
goodies you may collect along the way. The well prepared collector
should have in their kit of hunting tools, a flashlight, batteries,
hat, sun glasses, sunscreen (summer), jacket (fall), and Asprin (you'll
learn why after a day of walking slow and staring down). |

Just
about anything you can imagine will turn up at an M-WTCA event. Half the
fun of attending a tool meet is the opportunity to see the unique and
rare items you just can't find anywhere else. You can accomplish more at one meeting than in an
entire year of searching by taking advantage the combined efforts of our
membership. Most of our members specialize in one or more area's of
collecting, in their travels many find items of interest to others and
bring them along with the hopes of finding them a good home. There's
nothing finer than lots of fresh air and a multitude of tools glistening
in the morning sun!
