Easter States is a classic. One of the best on the east coast and well worth attending.

Big E Springfield is the best show of the year !!

I have been to both many times and the show at the Big E is definitely worth the drive. To me it is like a mini York. The Greenburg show at the Shriner's Auditorium in Wilmington has been disappointing the last few years.
Gentlemen,
Both shows use to be very very good, sorry to hear the Greenburg show is fading.

Clutchguy..It's not worth the drive if he lives in Ft. Kent.
Springfield is the best show I've ever been to, next to York. It's worth the trip from anywhere!
Ditto re the show in Springfield. It is better than York for my interests.

I walked out of the last Wilmington Greenberg show after an hour or so. More and more non-train sellers, the same old trains being offered by the same guys, and my general lack of interest in any of it were the primary reasons for my quick exit.
Been to the Springfield show once. It's a large show in several halls, but at almost 2 hours drive each way in January, I wasn't thrilled enough to go back. I always found my best deals online.
Greenberg had one (and only one) show in Springfield some years ago just across the river from W. Springfield. My wife and I attended and it was nothing like the ARS show over the bridge. I think they decided against doing it again because it was close to the ARS show time. Not saying anything was really wrong with it but the ARS show easily trumps it.
