This past year was my 27th year for Iowa Gas and I've never had a problem buying or selling. I always get there on Sunday and leave on Wednesday plain and simple. As far as the show promoters go, I always have several conversations with Ron and John during my stay. And I don't need them to remember my name to feel important. My only issue is the hotel room rates are too steep for what you get. I had full intentions to go to Bettendorf but I got Covid at IG (for the 2nd time in 4 years) and couldn't attend. Those that didn't attend IG this year missed out because the dates didn't overlap. IG ended as Bettendorf was starting. I will support both shows in the coming years.
