[AT] Another trip to Iowa for a wedding June 12th

[Dean VP]

George:

The Springfield, OH Show is the Eastern National John Deere Expo III. I
understand it is very large and equivalent to the NY Expo. I suspect it
would get priority over a team show due to our interests. Must be quite
popular as many of the local motels are booked up already. I have been able
to make tentative motel reservations in Springfield however. The show is
held at an abandoned airport. 

Looked at making some reservations in the Shelbyville, IN area. Several
reasonable priced motels close by. Which direction out of Shelbyville is
TMCOTKU from downtown? I suspect making reservations for the nights of the
17th though 20th would be appropriate.

Dean,

I haven't seen a show of hands on who will be attending the Cub Fest, but
I'm really looking forward to it.  I'm sure Frobl and Diana will be the best
hosts possible, and we'll have a good time.

I can't say about the Springfield show since we have never been there.

The Wauseon show is one of the country's largest shows for steam, and is
good for tractors and flea market, but the SEL people have pretty much been
run off.  It's a good show for the public walk-ins, and I'm sure you would
enjoy it.  My problem was with over-charging non-steam exhibitors for the
privilege of exhibiting... so that's why I no longer go to exhibit after 25
years or so.
