Thanks for the good wishes. While our show is in it's 21st year, it may not be the biggest in this part of the world but
last year over 5000 people attended the two day event. Over 60 vendors on hand, some of which you know and love like
G503 and Wee-Bee Webbing have been here in the past. Then there's guys like me that clean out the garage and bring a trailer load of "treasures" to sell. Should be 100 to 150+ military vehicles on display.

Speaking of weather, it's going to be 72 degrees here today and sunny, sunny, sunny. Bring sunscreen and shorts
if you attend the show. BTW.... snow? Is that the white stuff that falls from the sky on youse guys this time
of year? :D

Hey.... Jump on Southwest Airlines with your significant other and enjoy our show and a few days in the warm
weather at the show.

Shameless plug for Southwest??
Wish I could. They are saying 3-6" of the white stuff here for Saturday. Even better, wish I could bring the M-37 down but I would have had to have left here last fall.....

Having been born and raised in Milwaukee I decided to "get out" as soon as I was able after school. Hate cold, ice, snow,
sleet and grey skies all winter. Only get back up there in the summer to go to Iola and Oshkosh, they're almost back to back.
My mother likes "the four seasons" in Antioch, IL. What is there about 6 feet of snow in her driveway and -20 below that
she likes? Having said that I have to say there's no more beautiful place on the planet than the upper mid-west in
the SUMMER. :wink:
Come on down to our show.... I guarantee warm weather and sunshine.
