Tony, what did you think of the last show being there? Do you know if the show will be moving or at least looking for a bigger place in the near future? The reason I'm asking is my experience at the last show wasn't very good due to the size of the venue and parking.

It's not good. Hard to believe they can't find a more suitable facility. Unfortunately, I heard they were locked into a one year contract. They also claimed that if there was enough attendance they may rent two rinks. That may solve the narrow aisleways but not the parking.

It was ridiculous there last month. It took all of the fun out of it.
If they headed north another 15 minutes they could have it in the old macy's/jc penney's here in Lower Burrell/New Kensington. There would be TONS of room, plus it's only minutes from my house

It was bad,really bad. I help a friend out at these things and it's a good thing for him that he is a friend or he could KMA. I thought that it was bad behind the tables until I left to look around a little bit. If I went just to attend the show I would have left in about 15 min. You could hardly move in some areas and could barely make the turn at the end of the rows of tables without knocking guns off the racks.
The guy I help didn't care as long as he's raking in the $s' (sales were fairly good) as for me I'm almost ready to tell him to find another friend. Not really but I'm not very excited about the next show.
I understand that This is a short lease (about a year) and that they are looking for another place - Iv'e heard Belle Vernon mentioned.
