The red arrow points to the part of the resort where all of the room to room trading happens and sporting collectible shops are located. This stuff happens Monday thru Thursday

The blue arrow points to the ballroom where the Guyette & Schmidt decoy and collectable auction happens on Thursday.

The green circle is where the Midwest Decoy & Collectable show exhibit hall is located. That starts Friday afternoon through Saturday evening.



If you have any questions about the show, feel free to ask me and I'll help as much as I can.

I thought I was going to enter a call, but the closer it gets the more I don't want to. The cost is what kills me (even though it isn't that much) Don't know, if I do I will be getting a hold of you BigB, I would need it delivered!!!
