Lincoln City, Indiana, May 14- Any One Going ?

Rumor has it that HSN is hiring 75 temps and getting a charter bus to take them to Indiana to get loads of rolls.

If I lived a little bit closer I would consider it. The mint had better bring a lot of pennies to this release cause there are going to be a lot of people there wanting these pennies.

Things are looking better everyday. I just spoke to the communications supervisor at the Amphitheater, Laura, she has much to share with us, 1st the U S M int will be on site at 8-9am, also the roll limit is only 6-per visit, however you can get back in line as many times as you want, more later, got to go...

Sorry I had to go, one of those things ,Well I also found out that the ceremony will be held at the Amphitheater and there is only parking for about 900 vehicles, only there are lots of other places in the park to park, no pun intended, also laura expects the line of cars and people to be tremendous out side the park, to get in for the event.

I also spoke to Kaye, another very nice person who runs the Lincoln City Post Office and she states that the P O is across the street from the park and the way she is running things is as follows, she said she will have 2-desks set up in the lobby and a sign-in sheet for people to follow by, in order in which they sign in, when your name is called "YOU" will stamp your own rolls and there will be 5-stamps for people to use to do this. so, sounds like much thought has gone into this day. I was told that the post office, because these "rolls" are expensive and that they do not want to be responsible for a mistake, also you having your own stamps is " not a problem" , she also told me she will have a very large amount of stamps available for sale. Come 5 o'clock the door will be locked. All in all this town sounds like it is waiting and loving the attention, and the entire time I spoke to many people, everyone seems very helpful and kind to be of assistance, ENJOY!

PS: I would like to think that everyone reading this would also of given all this information to everyone else also, or did I give a little tooo much information, naaa I believe everyone would of done the same for me, Right?W/E...

Chump Change, I promise you I will take some very nice pictures, another hobby, I expect this event to be as wild as the first( I was not there, I heard) and probably even crazier and many more people in attendance, good luck to all.
I was originally going to trade and give some coins and /or rolls to some member's because they will not be attending, however this is proving to be a futile task and something that started out to be a good thing has become a thorn in my side and apparently some other's also, good luck to all......

Ken, I think you will obtain as many rolls as you and your "family" are willing to stand in line for, I wish my Family could attend, you know, work and that sort of stuff, LOL, I wonder how young you can be to purchase coins at these ceremonies?

I know more people will attend, (other member's )at least I think so, that said, I wish all who attend a wonderful time and please, share your photo's also, I want to take a few shots of the U S Mint truck(s) among other things. I want to make a framed collage of this event, and also hope to return with many rolls, or boxes for that matter.
KenKat are you staying at the Lincoln City State Park?Be Well, Mike...

It's almost time! YAY!
