The reason Strader's shows started to go down hill was alot of the vendors pulled out on him. The last several years down there people would come walk around and never buy anything. Vendors don't want to travel miles and miles to set up and get nothing in return. I myself have found sevral items over the years down there that were awesome buys that you can not find in a store, you jusy have to look around really good.

As I and know1 stated above his not having the show this year was for economic reasons more than anything else. Vendor support was again way down and some other things happened as well.
