How come the indoor tables are cheaper then the outdoor parking lot tables? Thought you only had to pay rental fees on the Hall building itself? :smt017 LEON.

Clayton is probably best qualified to answer this question but in the meantime, I will make a guess. The outdoor spaces are roughly the size of Colorado so you get a lot of bang for the buck. The inside tables don't offer nearly as much display space. Of course, the inside tables are climate controlled so it's a judgement call as to which option is best. Personally, I plan to have my stuff outside because I plan to bring a bunch of foreign cans that will display better outside.

Looking forward to seeing you there. Be sure to bring lots of Michigan stuff.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

I never been there (new location I mean) so I don't know. Do you set up in Parking lot in Parking space or do you just stake your claim in wide open field? LEON.

Parking space. My setup was like a tailgate party with a big canopy for shade

I vote for $5 outdoor spaces, or free if it's over 95 degrees or raining.

For all concerned, Indoor tables are 6 feet long and are 10 bucks. Outdoor setup is anywhere you stake your claim within reason in either the Legions parking or grass area or the big grass lot across the street. these are 15 bucks.

SO, Since outdoor is more does that mean you are supplying outdoor tables bigger then the 6 feet ones you supply indoors :smt017

No tables are supplied for outdoor set up, bring your own for out there or set on the ground like the old park

With just a week away, this show is once again going to be a full house. All 88 indoor tables have been sold for the two days. There will be plenty of opportunity to set up your things in the outdoor area. Weather in Michigan has been sunny and dry for the most part this summer, lets hope it continues for the event. Hope to see you there as we have collectors coming in from Illinois, Indiana, New York, Canada, Ohio, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
