Quite a few. According to Private Idaho, there are 52. "I got me a deuce, and it's as big as a whale, and we're headin' on down to The Central Wisconsin Military Show..."
(Bonus points if you know the band. ??)

Love Shack? Is that the new name of the place down the street, I always thought it was called "The Pettin' Zoo"?
(Bonus points if you know the real name of the club??)

Wife and I will be leaving in the morning.
See you there.
I will be wearing my BA-DA BA-DA BING BANG Rally hat.

Actually, I am in a white f250 aptly named "mothball" towing a black haulmark cargo trailer-- both with NE tags......... (I considered bringing the Suburban with M101 but this way I could fit more stuff to bring)..........

This event was really nice!
After all of the years of seeing grass and more grass at Iola, Tom’s place is paradise! There is so much to see, and Tom & Dale are amazing hosts. Lots of nice iron in the show area! The atmosphere of the entire event was extremely friendly and relaxing. Saw a lot of old friends and had some laughs. Awesome time, can hardly wait until next year.

I have been home for about three hours. We left Friday afternoon - but we took the "scenic" route.
Nice to talk with you.
Did the puddles ever dry up - or were they still green when you left?

Still green and along with a few other things I did not bring a camera for documentation, did however get a nice pen up there to take notes!
My dad and I had a good time....... the only thing wrong with the trip for me was getting "catfished" by a guy claiming to have some early cj stuff about a 2.5 hours drive north of the show........ 5 hours of round trip driving, about $70 in fuel and I find a guy that has a pile of parts that look like they have been sitting under water for years-- whats more, once we arrived, he said he would not sell anything because its "so valuable". I don't get people. Why advertise that you have stuff for sale, lie about condition on the phone, and then say right on arrival that nothing is for sale because its "too valuable". Was it just a ploy to get someone to oogle his pile of crap in hopes of sparking some sort of envy? I think so, but it didn't elicit envy from me but rather pity-- pity that there are such moronic piles of dna rejects in this world. If there was ever a candidate for electro shock experimentation, this dude would have been it............

If I had to boil the show down into two words, they would be: ENJOYABLE and HOT.
Attendance on Saturday felt a little down from last year, but this show was a 2-day event, and overall there were probably just as many visitors over the two days. In addition, the swap area was twice as big as last year, plus the museum was open, so people were more spread out. Wisconsin was showing how hot and humid it can be. As hot as it was, I heard from a lot of people who were pleased with the new showers and I saw a lot of folks venturing into the river to cool off.
At the front gate, I had the opportunity to talk with a lot of departing spectators, and I heard the words 'excellent', 'great', etc. from a majority of them. Every swap vendor I spoke with said they had had good or great sales. It would have been wonderful to have had more spectators, but it's more important that those who came had a fun time. Tom has promised to get next year's flyer ready and printed within a month, so it's available for download and distribution. He's hoping for an even bigger show next year.
Lots of good photos soon to come on Motorama's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Motorama.Auto.Museum/. Too many for me to try and post here.
Thanks to everyone who attended!! A show ain't a show unless people show up.
