Yes it was raided by the ODNR some kind of big investigation on selling endangered and thretened spiecies. IMO Just another attempt by the man to keep herpers down. It really put a damper on the show alot of people traveled quite a distance to get there only to be turned away by a bunch of guys wanting alittle overtime. there is always two sides to every story but I'm just not ready to here their side yet. I'm still mad. seriously here is a link to the story details.
Take care

I was worried, because we had a big delay and didn't get there until 4 hours after the show started, but they still hadn't let anyone in. I heard that a lot of it had to do with the exotic animal people selling prarie dogs, sugar gliders, and that kind of stuff. They didn't mention it in that report, but some vendors even told us about it, so I'm sure that was a factor. I think they probably could have found some way to keep the hundreds of people from waiting outside the parking lot in the sun for several hours with their animals not even knowing if the show would be cancelled or not. Also, many vendors that weren't convicted of anything left because of the big hassle. They paid for their tables and went through setup only to put up with the DNR for several hours without making any money. I know that'd make me mad.
it wa on the mews here in cleveland 24 people got nailed and from what my bubby told me he was a vendor there ,3 of the people even had there houses raided.
