Photos of the Event Site
1.
The camera is situated on the East end of the parking lot. This is the
beginning of where the customers would park their cars (E-W) for the show.
I am facing East towards Tom Wolboldt and the freeway. Tom is standing in
the second entrance to the parking lot.
2.
Looking one frame left of picture #1.
You can see the first entrance to the
parking lot and in the distance is exit 140 off I-71.
3.
Another 3/4 frame to the left, looking NE now.
You can still see the first
entrance to the lot and the entry/exit to the venue.
In the distance is the
Farmstead restaurant, the BP/ Taco Bell, and Sunoco.
Also visible are the
eastern most trap houses.
4. Another half frame left and a couple more trap houses come into view.
The east most one is on the right.
You can also see the entrance for "Golf
Cart Rd", the gravel road between the grassy area and the trap ranges.
5.
Another frame left, you are looking North/ Northwest.
You can see the
bathroom facility, the first electrical hookup,
and the north edge of the
parking area where our vehicles are parked.
6.
Another frame left, and looking Northwest.
You can follow the whole north
edge of the parking lot and the electrical hook ups.
7.
This is looking west. You can see the full parking lot.
8.
The is looking West as well, but is down the grassy area between the parking
lot and Golf Cart Rd. It is called "Vendors East" and is where we
envisioned the military vehicle display area to be. This would be on the very East end
of vendors East and would be an attention grabber for the whole show.

10. This picture pans back to the NE again a little and shows Tom walking
between the East Edge of Vendors east and the main Vendors East. Tom is
walking West... Leaving the main car corral.
11. A close up of the bathrooms. No h20 fountain but real running water and
sewer!
12. This picture is taken while standing in front of the bathroom looking
Northwest. You can see Golf cart Dr. and the third or fourth trap range.
13. Camera is in the same spot near the restrooms, but now pans back
Northeast. You can see the first trap house over toms shoulder and the
eastern beginning of Golf Cart Drive.
14. This is Vendors East main area. The camera is standing in
front of the bathroom looking West. This is where most of the vending
would take place. The hookups are 75' spacing and we envisioned the
vendors vehicles driving in from the left and the right so the front of each
opposing vehicle is near the hook up posts. This picture is looking due West and vending would be
on the North edge bordering Golf cart drive and on the south edge... the
edge of the parking lot as far as we need to go.
