Turnout was good. Not as good as last year but I was expecting that. It was warm. I walked around for a couple hours and headed home.

We spent the day there. I think they said the total car count was somewhere in the upper 200s, not as many as before, but they were content given the year we are having. The crowd count was also down, but there were people walking around most of the day. It was hot, but if you could get out of the sun, there was a decent breeze. We were pretty happy to get back home and in the AC last night though. Days like yesterday make me consider adding AC to the 48 Plymouth coupe... Gene

Most of the vendors from Cedar Falls left during the monsoon and went to Dubuque.

It was hot but I got a good vending spot under the trees. My sales were down, but I only brought a half a truckload. Didn't get out to see the cars until I left and drove around the show field. Looked like a good turnout considering Cedar Falls had been going on for two days and took a lot of the traffic, hopefully that won't happen again... luck

I went to Mopar Max on Saturday for the first time. I don't get their addmission price/system for spectators, had to pay $30 dollars for a two day admission even though I was only going to be there Saturday and then had to stop and give them my sales receipt and cut off my arm band to get a refund of $15.

Same thing here. It wasn't like that last year so it's something new. There must have been people paying for one day and then camping over night and staying for the second day. I get it. They did give me my $15 back so no complaints.

I did see you in the swap meet but that wasn't me on the road. There was another JA5 Challenger there at the show. Rarely ever see that color. My Challenger actually hasn't been out since 2015.

I was wondering about that, I thought you hadn't driven it for a while.
