Gary Reeder
that monster show was where I first met John Linebaugh

I was in the first row as you come in the door with my normal 5 or 6 tables. About mid way thru the first day a fellow came to the table and asked if I was Reeder. I told him yes. He said John Linebaugh had a table at the show and wanted to meet me. I told him gladly as I was anxious to meet John. I asked the fellow where John was. He pointed to a little red balloon up toward the other end of the tables. He said John had a table just across from the balloon. I told Kase to watch the tables and I would be back in a bit. I started walking toward the balloon and quickly realized why it was the largest show under one roof. It took me 20 minutes to get to John's table and that little red balloon was an 8 foot weather balloon. But it was well worth the 15 acre hike and John and I have been close friends ever since.
