Went and left early. These shows are going down hill,too many junk tables and admission went up again!!! another once a year visit like Chantilly. I'm sticking with the smaller ma & pa shows.
Why would the three biggest shows in the area all schedule the same weekend?
That appears to be the question.
In a similar vein regarding the importance of scheduling and how it can be done, about 30 years ago, I recall that representatives of major environmental and general public interest advocacy organizations, like Greenpeace, Environmental Defense Fund, U.S. PIRG, Clean Water Action, and others, would meet quarterly.
They met in order to schedule all of their door-to-door fundraising campaigns to make sure one group wouldn't try to raise funds in a neighborhood too soon after another group had just gone through. If a resident gets hit up for cash three times in a month, they suffer "donor fatigue" and stop giving to the groups coming along too close behind. If the door knocks are well spaced out over the year, a donor is more likely to give to all groups as they come around.

I see there is another Oaks show March 22-23 weekend. I went once and wasn't impressed but then heard the Oaks shows vary in size. Does anyone know if this coming show is worth the trip ? Is it one of the "bigger ones" ? I did not see table count listed on Website.
It’s the big one. Advertised as 2000 tables. I’ve never made the trip though. I’m not sure what you were looking at but here’s the link to the promoter’s website showing the details.

Thanks ! Think I'll go up next Saturday.
I'm not telling you what to do, but I would wait another week before making the trek.

You know the old saying; if you're not 7 days early, you're late!
