I could only attend today as my Dad was having hip replacement and had to get home this evening.

Number of vendors was great, maybe a bit more spread out than usual so I and others ended up on the grass well above the white house and 2/3 up the hill road.

I'm not sure whether it was where I was located up the hill, but I felt like today's attendance was maybe off or dwindled rapidly. Likely due to the high heat 95-97... yikes for eastern TN!

Since my mind was preoccupied I only made it around about 1/2 the grounds so I didn't get to see all there was to see.

I know when I packed and left I wasn't the only one as several were heading out, however there should still be a great field full tomorrow as some were moving off the hill to fill in lower locations. And I know of at least a few who will be staying for Saturday to catch the car show traffic too.

Unlike the spring show I didn't see any particular sign stick out as 'everyone had one'. In the spring a load of hog signs got distributed across the field so if you saw one you saw about 40.

I'll be back in the spring next year, I just hope we cool down by then! If not I might have to pack a kiddie pool and about 100 gallons of water!
