eddie g posted:DAVE45681, Saturday was always dead.even when the MEET was just Friday & Saturday. But then I have only been going 45 years, and had a table the first 30 to 35 years. I believe over 85 times, 530 miles each way. Like I have said, 9-5 Thursday & 9-5 on Friday.
Well, I've only been 45 consecutive times (October will be 46). Then again, I'm probably only a little over half your age 
, so I have a while to catch up (and please don't take offense at that, I hope to have your energy!) I am not suggesting I would have that sort of dedication if I lived as far away as you do either. I participate regularly since I only live 2 hours away. If that ever changes, my attendance habits would most likely change.
I definitely remember queuing up outside the Red and White halls on Saturday mornings after breakfast in the late 90's into early 00's. What I observed then (as a solely a buyer wandering up and down the aisles to make purchases) was much more of a crowd than the last few years as I've been sitting at my table on Saturday morning.
