Have never been to this Convention. I have seen YouTube videos of the Museum and the Auction and they do look interesting.

How big is the swap meet? Is it something set up in the parking lot?

The "Restoration Workshop" has piqued my interest too.

The Convention description for 2012 is very enticing and if things work out, I plan to go.

id love to go, but it sucks because its soo close to the dayton hamvention, same month maybe a week or so apart. (making spending for both operations extremely difficult).
