Here in SE Indiana we don't have quite that many shows, but we're getting there. I'm not a member, but I have visited 2 shows this year. The Greensburg Power of the Past show had a lot of tractors, but after awhile all the JD Bs start to look alike, you know? And the flea market was almost purely flea market crap.

Heck, a lot of people would love to see an early washing machine even.
