I went two years ago for the first time. It was one heck of a show. I only had 4 hours to spend there and literally had to fast-walk the whole show. Saw more eye-candy than my eyes (or pocketbook) could stand. Went to see if I could find a 20X Lyman STS for my 1885 Highwall. Didn't..........but because of my talking about the show and missing what I wanted, one of the guys on one of my favorite forums told me he had some for sale and made me an offer I couldn't refuse..........even though I couldn't really afford it. But that's a whole 'nother story. The show itself is well worth seeing, but take a pocket full of money and plan to spend plenty of time there. Luckily it's more than one day, so if you really want to see it, plan on staying for the whole show. Oh, and Ben is right.............wear some really comfortable shoes.
