I'm glad to see the promoters of Iowa Gas have heard our concerns and responded to them. ...well, at least ONE of the concerns, anyway...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

I just looked at the IaGas web site. The dates they show are the 2nd - 5th 2015. That is Sunday thru Wednesday. I wonder if that is a typo. Anyone heard?

Anyone heard? sounds correct, probably going to start advertising the 'real' days now since out of state peeps are showing up on Thursday and wondering why half the vendors are gone. early birds arrive on Sunday. general consensus is that the show is done by Wednesday afternoon.

Very true Bryce. Does this mean we need to get there on the Friday before? LOL. Any idea as to when they will be set up for vendor registration?

I attended the IG this summer and was very impressed. I learned that the first day of the show isn't really the first day. A lot of trading goes on before the scheduled first day!
I'm collecting all types of porcelain signs but prefer Mobil Oil.

IG is always a good show. A lot of stuff for sale all in one place. Some deals and some strong prices, as with any show. I ended up with one sign from the auction last year I added to the collection. It comes up every year about when the show actually starts. As I see it, the show promoter has to keep the dealers/ vendors happy because if you do not have vendors, you do not have a show. If you only have vendors, you still have a show as they buy and sell to each other. Looking forward to it and the rest of the 2015 show season already.

Iowa Gas has been some of my best memories of folks here. I need to attend next year maybe for the last time to really remember times lost.

Thinking of flying up this year and attending for the first time. Does anyone know is there an on-site shipper like Craters and Freighters to handle large items???
Also what day does activity really begin? I know at Hershey it's a few days prior to what's advertised.

Also what day does activity really begin? Quote I have a link to last years discussion of what is best for IG and timing. http://www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=557314&page=1Lots of opinions about when is right but in my experience of just one IG, I found that people were selling in their rooms on the Sunday before hand. Prices were strongest on Sunday/Tuesday and declined through the week as did the selection of course.

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like I will need to plan to come early. Heard it's the Grand Daddy of Oil/Gas shows.
