I try to attend both the fall and spring events, 70 miles away, and lots of vendors. This Sunday was the first time ever i parked almost at the front door. The lot was empty, the aisles were almost empty, it was eerie. Picked up some stuff from the tool guy, a very inexpensive plasticville signal bridge that will become a working bridge, and some odds and ends. Hopefully Saturday was better attended. What was it like for you?

It was packed on Saturday. Aisles were very crowded. Of course parking was tough because the farmers market was open. I was able to snag a vision line Penn central gg-1 that I have been looking for at a very reasonable price. Also picked up a CNJ video recently released.
Plenty crowded on Saturday, I've truthfully never been there on Sunday.
Couldn't make it this time because of work, but we always go on Saturday. The farmer's market is closed on Sunday and that is half the reason for going. They have some great prepared foods to take home and there is a local distillery that I always end up buying a bottle from.
I went on Saturday and while it was packed, the lot wasn't nearly as full as I've seen in years past. I roamed all of the vendor tables and surprisingly walked away empty handed. First time that has happened in the twenty years I've been attending the show.
I wonder how crowded First Frost will be at $15.00 a ticket per day?

I went Saturday and Sunday - decent crowed early on Sunday as I was there from 9am-11am. Many sellers willing to make deals - seemed like a good and healthy show to me! I want to thank all the forum members for coming up and saying Hi and the breakfast and at the show - made me fell all warm and fuzzy.
Also thanks to everyone who bought from me - everyone was great to deal with - my for sale list has been updated for anyone who wants to still take a look.
I was there on Saturday. Been going for the 5 years and I thought it was pretty busy. Ended up with a pair of MPC Pennys green f3s. Got a MPC GG1 last year. Think the MPC bug hit.
Picked up a scale Lionel Conrail auto rack. That was a welcome find. Otherwise, saw very little I was interested in. Got to put the cash back in the bank when I got home.
