Anyone have any info to share on the fall Peotone setup? I haven't seen any info for an auction... assuming there might not be one?

its unfortunate how things have changed... used to be so many good auctions in Illinois... Peotone, IL... Raymond, IL... and several other ones. Sure do miss the venues, staff, setup and offerings of Matthews Auctions!

If it's going to be anything like Spring Peotone, I would stay home!

Spring Peotone was not a good example this year. Unfortunately they were calling for a lot of snow. It stopped people from coming and setting up outside . Please don't judge Peotone by that one visit. I travel across the country to be there. It has always been a good show. Hope you guys will give it another try sometime. John

Like john said don't judge peotone by a show that was predicting a lot of snow.
I heard dan is not doing an auction but heard Roy brinkman is going to. I guess we will soon find out. FYI Roy did the Columbus show.
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

I knew she'd come around eventually. Either that or she gave in/gave up..either way hope to see yall there.

The Peotone show started in '98 or '99. There's been a total of ONE show that had a disappointing vendor turn out, and that was strictly because of the weather. The Peotone show promoters do an outstanding job. There hasn't always been an auction in conjunction with the show, so I expect this show will be good with or without an auction.
It's unfortunate that Morphy's has abandoned some of the venues Dan did such a great job at.
