We're going to try to make it, but I'm not sure if the timing will work. If you'll have displays, how can I find you?
Can anyone tell me the opening & closing times for Saturday? I've seen 10 to 6 in some places and 8 to 5 in others.
We're going right past the fairgrounds (on US 63) on our way from St. Louis to Kirksville & back either Friday or Saturday (not sure which day yet). We're more likely to have time to stop on the way home (to St. Louis), but I'm not sure we can get there in time.

I'm trying hard to convince my ex-co-worker that she'd rather do the server upgrade on Sunday, but she seems to think Saturday would be better (in case something goes horribly wrong). I mean, what could go wrong with a server upgrade, right?  Actually, if I can convince her to put it off for one week, I'll be there. Otherwise, have fun without me. |

Have any of you been to this show in past years? How does it compare to any of the shows in or near St. Louis?

I found a phone # for show information. The person who answered my call said the times for tomorrow are 8 to 5.
Does anyone know how this show compares to any of the show in or near St. Louis?

My wife, daughter, & I were able to stop @ the show yesterday. We enjoyed it immensely! It is a very good show & I had a nice visit w/ three very generous RTH folks! If you're reading this before the show ends @ 3 today and you are in the Columbia, MO area, I recommend going to this show. If its too late, I suggest you plan on going next year.
The RTH folks are towards the right side (as you come in), about half way between the front & back of the hall. Their tables are covered w/ white cloths. They are next to a guy selling, among other things, a variety of copper chains on spools. If you find an area that matches that description, just say "Hey, are you the RTH guys?".
Ken, Donna, & John - It was great to meet you! I look forward to seeing those pictures. Thank you very much for your generosity! I know that at least one of those items will be on my desk at work (in my little rock collection there) tomorrow morning.
