A friend and I went to the Prairie Homestead show this year. It is not a very large show but had a lot of things that were kid friendly. There where a lot of young families there too. One other thing I noticed was they had food a very reasonable prices. Meal deals for $5. Not big servings but drink, chips and a sandwich for a reasonable price. It caught my attention when a young family in front of me got all their food for just under $20. I think that show will continue for a long time in the future. I do not think it will ever be a big show but that is good too. Smaller friendlier is great.
On the opposite end of that is what the JD Expo became when it was at Waterloo. Nothing at all to do for adults or kids. Just a bunch of pristine JD tractors setting doing nothing. The last time I went it was a picture perfect day. I bet there were not fifty people there besides the exhibitors. I never went back either. I was pretty Green back then but even I get bored just looking a museum pieces.
So I will say any show that has kids friendly stuff and stays reasonable in price will more than likely survive.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
