Thank you to the OMVA chaps for having stable. It provided a great spot to meet up with some fellow Canadians and also a handy spot to drop off some purchases that were made.
Was a great show and I'll post up some photos tomorrow. All in all I had a blast seeing one of the big US shows. Other then some fun crossing into the states the day trip was uneventful.

I am a huge fan of US based shows now. Have been in the MV hobby for 25 years, always heard and knew about them but never really went down to any. Started going about 4 years ago now and love it. There are several that are within a days driving from S Ontario. Always get treated like family when we get there.

Please no photos, or anecdotes of how good the deals were. My co-driver backed out and I wasn't ready to make the 20 hour drive alone, so I sat at home here watching it rain instead of going to the convention.

Sorry Rob!
Yes I admit I wanted to go and started getting worked up but I started to think of building my shop this summer and got cheap and backed out! Once the shop is up then We will make the next close show! I still need a reproduction tire chain bag yet for my jeep tool kit list!
Regards,Derk

Batch number 2
This big truck was pretty cool to look at. Was a Vietnam era USMC workshop truck. Had a lathe, press, welder, torches, grinder and a bunch of other tools.
