I'm going this year. I live in Illinois, and it's only about 3 hours away for me, so I've gone for the last ocuple of years. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! I stay for about 3 days..you need to stay that long to even begin to see everything. It's so much fun....I would LOVE to meet up with some of you who are attending...that would be GREAT! Let me know....oh, and yes, good walking shoes are a MUST! :)
