I was set up at the show
As mentioned - great care and focus on distancing and PPE. Dealers and staff had temperature checks coming in each morning (not sure about attendees). Masks required and checked for everyone. Very well run from a safety perspective. Friday was the "busy" day. Saturday was much quieter and Sunday quieter still. Someone made mention that there was some local news reporting questioning the safety of the show. As mentioned by others - it was great to see old friends, make some new ones and place names with faces of some net 54 members.
Dealers reports were mixed - a number said it was a great show for them business-wise. A few less so. While I agree that the room was weighted to the "new shiny stuff", there was quite a bit of nice vintage in the room - Way more post war than pre war and while I agree some of it trying to set new pricing records, there were some deals to be had as well.
