Thank you for the "Heads Up."
I always attend this show. I only live 5 miles away and will be sporting my North Carolina blue in Penn State navy blue country.

In years past, some of us would get together for breakfast before the show opened.

That place is the Neptune Diner on Prince Street. I will probably be there sporting North Carolina blue in Penn State country.

I purchased two identical wading staffs for $100.00(both) and a rod holder for my wading belt. This will make wading where I do all of my fishing so much easier.
The real problem was parking. I finally found a parking garage near the convention center. I parked and walked. No problem with that.
When it was time to exit, I put the parking ticket in like instructed followed by my credit card like instructed. Nothing happened. The gate never moved.
I called the number only to get another automated voice message about their Monday-Friday hours, My problem was on a Saturday afternoon. The fence wouldn't open and a line was increasingly forming.
No human being was there to help me and everyone in line waiting to exit was very pissed off at me.
What could I do?
What a way to end the day. I can't exit and everyone behind me is more than pissed off.
The moral of the story is to get there early and find a place to park on the street and not deal with a automated parking garage.

Are you still there? How did it finally resolve itself?

I called the number on my cell phone. Nothing better than dealing with automated voice machine. I did get calls that were from Uber. Eventually someone came and let me out.
By this time there were problems with the other exit lane as well. It was a mess.

The show was fine. I got a pair of matching wading staffs at a good price and a rod holder. I can put all three on my wading belt and feel more confident wading.
