The kinda strange thing that was missing from the 104 show was traditional dealers like Roger Ward, Chris Jensen, Gene Cobb, Mark Graff. It was not a problem though as the tables were sold out and many veteran collectors in the Carolinas had plenty to sell on their tables. John Pleasants and I anchored one wall. My tables were right next to the men's restroom. Hey, I'll take foot traffic any way I can get it at a show.

The guys running the show at the Occoneechee Lodge 104 TOR did a great job. The place was hopping the whole time and many people pulled in needs and made good sales. The cook team did a fantastic job - ask me about the pork slider sandwiches for lunch Saturday. I've already sat down with Google maps to see what's the next show I can justify driving to. These folks that fly in are just a little too fancy for me. Instead my motto is "have Buick Rendezvous will travel". 
Here is a picture of Dan and Ron going through my dollar boxes like pros. These guys pulled out something like 75 patches that we made a deal on. For the TOR I brought lots of bulk stuff and traded out a Wood Badge folding chair, sold a metal catalog rack (gave another to a Scout) and recycled many patch pages and holders back into the hobby.
