As a table holder in the Silver Hall a couple of observations:
1. Table space is getting easier to obtain in the member halls.
2. As shared to me from Debbie Geiser,"TCA Eastern pays $250,000 to lease the Fairgrounds from Monday through Saturday." So I feel its to their advantage to open the halls for as many days possible.
3. That said, for me, the meet is effectively over at 2pm on Friday. In all seriousness, the crowd disappears about 1:45. This coincides with some group gathering in the inky-dinky Gold hall... 
4. Saturdays are for playing shuffleboard in the aisles.
5. I pray the member halls are never opened to the public for that would kill the TCA as membership would no longer be required to attend. I already know a couple of guys that dropped their membership but still go to the Orange and Purple as paying public.
6. Rumor has it the Yellow Hall will be for HO vendors.
Open fire!
