Unless the prices are up then there's way more. We will be there, and at the LDF Banquet. Last edited by patfundine; 01/04/18 11:08 PM.

If you live in Wright county you are a lot closer than 4 hrs. 300 or so is probably about right for attendance, weather and markets play a big part in participation.

One of the few times you have multiple buyers in one place,other than an auction. Tom If my feet aren't wet,I must not be trapping. Tom Olson MTA life member#100,also WTA life member

One of these years I will make it down, I know a couple couches in the area I could camp out on for a night.
