I usually start with the Orange hall since that presents the best chance of discovering what's new or new to me. A discovery could lead to a spontaneous purchase. I usually come with a list. After the Orange hall, the next halls are generally to satisfy the list, see the layouts and visit with friends. I usually cover all the halls if I don't run out of time.
I don't really understand why major manufactures or retailers would stop attending York. York is a huge target audience of O gaugers. Seems like the ROI would be pretty high in the York environment. The're missing guys like me if they are not there. More importantly, you lost your only chance to market to my wife.
