Porsche Funfest?

Has anyone ever been to one of the Porsche Funfests in Effingham. Il. sponsored by Tweeks? Is it worth going?
(sorry about mentioning a competitor Wayne, but this is the only swap meet I can get to in less than 2 days of driving).

I think they claim to have a swap meet there don't they?

Keep in mind, Wayne's prices are, from what I have checked, much better than Tweeks so the reason to go would be for the other P-cars and swap meet.

Maybe I should go and wear my Pelican shirt

Closer to time maybe some of us could paln to meet there. Would be a blast!

I should send a banner with you guys, and 'crash' the party!

Mike wouldn't be happy...

I've been going for close to 15 years now, back when TWEEKS was in Indianapolis.

Good time, glad the swap meet is back.

If Wayne sends me a shirt I'll wear it. Gave him some free publicity last year when one of the judges asked where I had gotten some of the parts for my car. I doubt they'll ask me again.....

I would wear a Pelican t-shirt as well if I had one.

I'll be at this as well. Will the swap really be worth attending? I went year before last and wasn't impressed...

Can anyone tell me how many Porsches really showed up last year? I've heard several conflicting figures.

As I mentioned, I didn't go last year, but the catalog-stated number of 375 seems close to accurate, if not a little low. The years I've gone, they seemed to be between 400-500; it's tough to keep track because lots of people only go for one of the 2 days, and lots show up without pre-registering. I've committed both of those on various occasions.
