I have no idea how big or splashy this one is as i have never gone to it.

Next one is a good one, 2 days but usually Sunday doesn't last very long or have near as many people.

I will be going to both, but the Coldwater show is on the same day as Colt's first Tball game, his game is at 10:30 and lasts around an hour. So i won't make it to the show till around noon.

yes i did mix my terminology because I don't know what you call people in indiana? is it indianans? or is it just hoosiers? but if you went with michiganders than ohioans would be correct, course I don't know what you call michiganders to correlate to buckeyes.

. . . uh, Michigeese, maybe?!

You could always call them Wolverines, though I would think that would upset the Spartans somewhat!

And just to clarify for those that do not know.. Yoopers refers to people in the Upper Penninsula, or UP, hence, Yoopers..
