My first Philly Show was in 1981 at the old Willow Grove Convention Center. In March 1993, the Philly Show moved to Ft. Washington.
Circa 2008, this Show moved to Reading. I set-up at all of these shows during those 30 years. They were tremendous shows for me.

I set up at the first couple of Hunt's shows at Valley Forge (VF). The cost of the booth was excessive. The action at the VF shows was
meager (in comparison to the previous Philly Shows). And, I caught a bad cold when this show was set up in the damp basement level
of the VF building, which is where it is now permanently situated since the Casino was built.

There, don't you wish you hadn't asked me

Ted, I hope this iteration of the Oaks Show is more successful than the previous attempt to establish a viable alternative to Hunt's show.

Can any of the locals tell me how the advertising is for the show---With all the autograph guests, I would think there is heavy advertising in the papers etc. thanks, Don

Last week I asked the promoter this same question; and, she told me that they are advertising the Show in the Philadelphia
newspapers and on the local Radio stations.

I will be there today. I noticed show did not show up in the Beckett show calendar that is an oversight they need to correct for next time

I did hear a spot on WIP earlier this week which I found interesting considering WIP is setup/a sponsor at the hunt show.

As someone who plans on doing some of these shows in the not too distant future I hope so too. I doubt I ever will set up at a Hunt show. I wouldn't want them telling me I can't set up at other local shows if I set up at theirs as they did before. To me that is crazy.
