We visited today (Sunday) which was kind of nice for us, there were not a lot of people there today... Slow for the vendors though.

I didn't take nearly as many photos as I wanted because I spent a great deal of time talking to everybody and before I could make a good round to get more pictures, it was time to close up the show and everybody was packing up.

If you have been to the Moab Vendor Show over EJS, this show really isn't going to impress you too much except for the live vehicle entertainment. However, it is a good reason to get out of the house!

I believe that if the show had been advertised better, there might have been a better spectator showing as that was one of the complaints I had heard from several vendors. Anyways, enjoy the few photos that I did take of the event.

Yeah, there were some cool vehicles there and i did talk to a couple vendors. I met Carl-I Lean, and i believe Bryson i also met unofficially. Maybe it was i different bryson i dont know. I was a little disappointed to be quite honest do to the fact that nearly every product i saw was for the new JK's which is cool, just not as cool when you have a ZJ if you know what i mean.

As far as spectators there was a fair amount on saturday but not so many you were bumping into people all day. I think there would have been more attendance had the price not been so steep.

We (My kids and I) went saturday as well I couldn't tell anyone if it was slow or not because this was my first one however I kept thinking how I wish the RV show was more like the ORE peoplewise anyway(less congested) I tried to talk to Von,Carl and some others but they were busy when I came around. I also noticed that the U4 booth was busy every pass I made.

It was a phenomenal show for the U4, over 150 new members and renewals at that show along

I helped work the u4 booth friday and saturday night, and friday seemed a lot more crowded. The motor cycles in the metal dome was pretty crazy

I haven't heard of these books. Are they any good? Do they make children's books too? I seem to be buying tons of those lately.

I went up on Fri. there were not as many as I thought there would be. I thought the adminsion price was a bit steep even with the $2.00 off coupon. I enjoyed the u4w booth and had a good chat with the flying hawaiian. Still any time I get to see cool rigs and talk to great vendors that love to share knowlege it is a good thing.
