It was my first time to set up at Iowa. Got there Sunday evening and left Thursday around noon. I sold every gas pump I took and over half of the signs. Bought about 30 Texas cans and 3 Texas globes. My wife, child, and I had a great time.

Only thing I saw that bothered me were people disobeying the parking signs. I think people came in the vending area and parked where they wanted to not regarding the signage. If the sign says no parking from such and such date to whenever, it should be enforced.

I think there should have been more signage on the outside for people that were vending in the ball room area; I heard some people say that they didn't even know there were spaces inside.

The hotel a/c didn't work very well, but they brought us 2 fans to use and made it more comfortable. They did put forth an effort into making us comfortable. ( I have stayed at Holiday Inns that were better, cheaper and gave you a decent and free breakfast in the morning)
