Guess it might not be such a big show afterall. Next weekend there are 3 big good shows within my [short] driving distance.
Now I just have to choose one.

It was 5 and 1/2 hours actual driving. With a couple potty stops and a fuel stop and at least one meal stop it figures out to be right at 7 hours and 315 miles each way. 
VERY GLAD I went! Closest I could get to an official count was just a couple shy of 500 garden tractors. 
The ENTIRE TOWN of Salem, IL is to be commended for thier hospitality. GREAT show GREAT people!

I did take some pics. Still can't load pics into my computor. I'm hoping when I go back to work the office gal can load them to a flash drive and then I can upload them here. I'm laid off now 
so no idea when that will be.
