Anybody going? I am planning on going on Sunday this year, a change from my normal Saturday visit, due to other plans.
I'm hoping it’s not a complete wash out weather wise....

I plan to attend tomorrow. It is one of my most "productive" shows. Good deals, plenty of vendors.
At last years show I was looking through a shoebox stuffed with brass Cal-Scale and Precision Scale detail parts. The fellow behind the table saw my interest and said, "twenty bucks, it's yours." Which one? says I — "The whole box" was his reply.
That twenty dollar bill was out of my pocket faster than you can say Andrew Jackson

Impressive.
I'm still proud of my CMX car, minus box, but bought for less than a pair of Jeans! However, he had run out of the cleaning strips, and I was not going to order new ones online...
Instead, I stopped at Hobby Lobby, and bought a square of Corduroy fabric, and have a large supply of cleaning strips! (And still paid less than a new pair of Jeans!)
I've decided to skip out this year because Berea and Kirtland have - sadly - become increasingly disappointing for me over the past 3-4 years. I see the same layouts and the same vendors with the same stuff.
Some of the bigger names at Berea (e.g. F&C, Tichy) no longer attend and I miss some of the smaller cottage industries I used to see regularly. One year I did the Kirtland circuit in ~45 min then left because there really wasn't anything worth going back to see the 2nd time through.
Hope you both are able to find some good deals and bargains...
