You are correct about the sales. The Marietta show was originally started as a display and historical show and remained that way for a long time, the only trading was done very discreetly among club members. Times change and as the show grew and membership changed so did the desires of a portion of the members, as well as the public that came to the show. Now in an effort to maintain the original intent of the show to a great extent and still satisfy todays members, and the public, we have set aside a small area strictly to buy, sell or trade. It is limited but there are usually some goood items available.
