The Spring & Fall shows are my favorite. They’re huge !!! This show covers a little of everything. Over 100,000 people are on hand over 5 days to visit 82 acres with over 3000 venders and 1800 collector vehicles for sale. The other events contain special, judged car shows along with the swap meets & car corral, and still only cover half the acreage of the just the swap meet & car corral of the Spring and Fall shows.
