Sounds like a nice event. How many vendors do they get these days?

...in the old days, they'd get maybe 6-10 vendors with about a dozen tables...maybe

...now days ....25-30 vendors+....and 40+ tables....it's the 2nd one in the new/different venue.....it has a good layout  |^|

That would be worth the ride if I still lived in Elgin.
