The show is the 4th to the 6th with the auction on the 6th. Many vendors start arriving on the 3rd myself included. I would reccomend being there on the 3rd for some early peeks and for the start of the show early on the 4th. I will have tons of pumps if I can get them all there, many signs, and some cans and globes.

Sorry you are right. I was looking at July on the calender and not August. However, still be there on Tuesday for the show on Wednesday and Thursday with the auction on Friday.

if you can,stay at the holiday inn where the show is at.makes it much easier to get out and browse,and you dont have to drive .they do have shuttles to the different hotels,but finding parking and hauling stuff is a pain.once we park,our car pretty much stays put until we leave.
