    The Valpo show has always been decent. However last falls show and this upcoming show the Lake County show has gone on the same weekend. So it splits the vendors between the 2. Not sure why they decided to do this but it definitely seemed to hurt the show in Valpo last fall. Not as many vendors, but less people, so that was good

    I always enjoy going to the Valpo show as it is one of the biggest in the area. Even with the split between the shows last fall, it was still decent. It's nearly two 15,000 square foot buildings of tables when full. Plus I get Quiznos whenever I go, since Valpo seems to be the only place in the area that still has a Quiznos.

    I ended up going and thought it was great! It was really packed with a lot of vendors and tables. Everything is still on the expensive side, but that's pretty much the way it is now.
