Has anyone gone to this show? It's coming up in October and I was thinking of going but don't know if it will be worth the 7 hour drive because the vendor list so far is rather small. What do you all think? Thanks.

7 hours isnt bad i would say get a hotel room somewhere close so you dont have to rush there and back right away the admission is for both days. there is alot of great vendors there they have something for everybody. and you say the vendor list is kinda small? i dont know what you concider small but this is the vendor list for the show

How is it compared to the Daytona,Fl show?

i havent been to the daytona show but from what i hear the daytona show is just in a larger building with a few more vendors not many but i hear the vendors like to pull out a few of there secret projects and bring them to the show to show off a lil lol. in the end they are all worth going to any of the bigger shows great animals great ppl

The show is very nice, high quality. It is still a larger show, more like a professional trade show. The whole weekend is needed to be experienced especially the PIJAC auction. Bob Ashley and Brian Potter outdo themselves with their shows.
