    @Armydog@Armydog my guess is that worst case if night-before isn't possible, since the even starts at 11am, I wouldn't think that getting in really early would be a problem (like, 7am even maybe) but that depends on Bronson. If my memory serves me correctly, he doesn't really sleep that much anyways!

    I will have to find out where the class that my daughter will be taking is, I think at the race track.

    I will have to get more info but will keep you posted.

    Are you taking things down to sell as individual?

    We had day swaps for years and years where people set up the morning of the swap. This is supposed to be more simple.

    I imagine we will need chairs.

    I understand that.

    But since this is the only fest for the hobbyist imo the Hobbyist sellers should have been asked what they perfer instead of thr decision being made by people who dont sell.

    Waking up at 3am to pack stuff to drive 2hrs to setup then tear down then drive 2hrs and then put away is not best for corals or the people having to do it. Since it appears that all of the hobbyist sellers are not local to Iowa city.

    Just my opinion about the well being of the live animals and people

    Can I bring my own table?

    If anyone from Des Moines/Ankeny area is going I may have extra chairs like 20 but I wont be able to fit them. I'll just need to make sure they are returned to 4 paws
