That is a freaking awesome show. I never missed one for years and years and some of the repeat dealers are really excellent with great material and good prices. There are some good places to eat in town too. Can't remember their names but I've been to several joints that are real good that farmer friends told me about.
Do they still do the Bakersfield tailgater too? That was another really excellent show I attended every year....Mel

The Nipomo show bar-b-que was another high point.

thanks for the input, Mel & John. Mel, the Bakersfield Show that Lew has organized in past years didn't happen this year. Apparently, health, time and logistics considerations made it impractical. The weather & turnout have made the past few years rough for all involved. Lew and his sweet wife, and of course, all of their helpful crew, did a great job despite the very tough weather. We really missed their warm hospitality this year.
Hopefully, a leader will step forward to work with Lew, and absorb the knowledge that he's accrued over the years of great Shows.
