Gallery: Northeast Gas Bash Advertising Show (with Video) – February 1, 2025

WALLINGFORD, CT – With more than three-dozen vendors displaying automobilia and pop culture artifacts, Saturday’s Northeast Gas Bash Advertising Show attracted an early-bird crowd of shoppers. RIDE-CT arrived well after the doors opened, but still found vendors and buyers haggling over items that would look good in any classic car owner’s garage. Among the plentiful items were old oil cans, brand signage, clothing and more.

Here’s a video of the event:
