The XYL and I were there on Friday. We drove to Indy on Thursday, dropped the youngin's off with the in-laws and make the trek back to Dayton on Friday morning. We didn't go back for Saturday's fun. I looked at the crowd on Friday and decided not to return on Saturday. We did get to see a few folks and get a few good deals on some things.
