A great show and one I certainly won't miss. Too bad there isn't more vendor space.

Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

Another hotel option besides the Ramada is Aloft Columbus Westerville at 32 Heatherdown Dr, Westerville OH 43081 and their phone number is 614-899-6560. Its a bit further away but a nice facility.

Are sellers going to be out in the parking lot all day Saturday, even though the auction is going on and everything tends to end early? I have to work all day Friday, and I'm reluctant to bring a fist full of cash on Saturday if half of everyone has already packed up. I went to CTO last year and it rained like heck that day and most sellers were packed up. It sucked.
