First Time Going to Big Show (2026)

Also, here's a hint on communication. AT&T cell service is not available at the fairgrounds.

Those cell services that use AT&t include:

Cricket Wireless

Consumer Cellular

Boost Mobile

H2O Wireless

PureTalk

Red Pocket Mobile

US Mobile (under their "Dark Star" network option)

Good2Go Mobile

FreeUP Mobile

FreedomPop

 

There may be more. Verizon service is excellent. Other members may chime with what works for them.

 

I personally have a dual SIM phone. My main system is Consumer Cellular (AT&T), but the other SIM is Tracfone (Verizon)

A bit closer for old Ed Dog.

Can you please grab me 2 pulled porks and a bag of ice while you're up there?

You can join right at the show too. 

Really that kinda sucks about the church group. Sounds like the Lions are being dinks.

One other question, if I decided to bring my tractor with me, would it be ok to bring and put up a small pop up tent to sit under in case of rain or hot sun? If so do I just pick a spot?

That is what everyone does, Just pick a spot and it is yours for the weekend Come early for the best selection.

@953 nut Thank you for that info, I will keep that in mind.

@Thegearhead0324 , pick any spot you want, just as long as you don’t pick mine!😂 Kidding, totally kidding I’m usually up in the show building. I’m not sure if I’m bringing any tractors this year or just stuff to sell?

that about 20% of the crowd are members, maybe more, but only a few follow the forum closely.

That holds true for most Fraternal Organizations too. But get the word out that there will be a standing vote to raise the price of beer at the next meeting, they come out of the woodwork......
