Setup is Saturday morning, and the show is done by early afternoon on Saturday. It's a very quick show, but we've bought good stuff there before.

BWFERGIE, Show starts around 7:00am and is over around noon. Where are you in KY? If not to far you should be home in time and then when taking prom pics you can get your BOTW pic at the same time. LOL

I am located in Central City, I'm about a hour away. I believe I would much rather take BOTW pics than prom pics anyway! LOL

going to try to go, but would like to set up. only I have a 10x 10 at best. would anybody like to split a booth with me? (if it's allowed, never been a prob before.
also I have a bunch of old magazine ads from the 50's, would it be a problem setting up those, there not all gas but all are car and service oriented. (out of old jobbers mags).

Hoopty, Call Rick as i don't know. Most of car stuff is about 200ft away. They split the auto and gas and oil stuff. There are guys with auto that have some gas stuff. 30x10 area for $30 is pretty cheap.
I am not the show promoter, i just live in town and like gas and oil stuff and post on oldgas. LOL

know that sounded like I was being cheap, but it wasn't the 30 price tag. Have you ever seen a 10x30 booth with only 10x10 worth of stuff in it? looks pretty scarce and people tend not to stop at bare booths. thanks for the info, i will call him.
