Additional info:

  •  Parking is still free as is the WiFi. 

  • Many enjoyed the nice padded chairs and the projector screen in the lobby was fun to watch.   

  • The concession stand had really good food but outside food is allowed.   This year there is a brand new Kroger’s grocery store with a fabulous deli located right across from the show hall.

  • The location is easy to find, just off Morse Rd., 2 miles East of I-71 North and 3 miles West of I-270 on Eastside.
