bRAD, dAVE COVERED YOUR QUESTION ADEQUATELY. In addition to "how much" space, the bigger concerns are the where and when. Certain parts of the show grounds offer easier accessability for a 2-ton truck pulling a 28-foot triple-axle trailer (at $40) than do others. A station wagon with 4 card tables pays the same $40, but might vend smaller items more effectively in the north part of the showgrounds "the grove" where like items and closer proximities prevail. The premiumspaces go, on afirst-come basis to those whose vehicles are in line for several days ahead of the 'shotgun' start. There is NO ROPING-OFF of spaces to save room for late-comers. this practice caused a near-revolt several years ago. The board is very observant and has improved registration and space allocation every year that I have done business there. Happy trading- bring clothes for every weather contingency.
