The weather on Sundau looks good with a high in the low 50's and light showers in the afternoon.

On Saturday the high is going to be 31 and partly sunny!! We are sold out inside and looks like we are going to have a great show. We are looking forward to seeing everyone!!

Tim and Michelle, Kevin and Dawn

Also, attendance should be very good. Two weeks ago the Chicago Tribune had a short article about the Peotone show on the front page of the transportation section.

Tim & Kevin do a great job of promoting the show. They bring in more buyers than many shows, and they bring in vendors with a wide array of petroliana.
"Most" of the vendors were not gone Sunday morning! The inside was sold out. There were only a couple of empty spaces inside on Sunday. The show promoters can't make the vendors stay. There are early buyers on Saturday so its not just a Sunday show! I think if you poll the vendors you'll find out they make 60-70% of their sales on Saturday. There were about the average number of outdoor vendors on Sunday. The spring show doesn't normally have as many outdoor vendors as the fall show but there were outdoor vendors set up the length of parking lot.
