Auburn, IN or Fort Wayne, IN tractor show?

Has anybody ever been to either tractor show? They are both inside heated buildings in March. I'd like to go to one of them. From what I've heard it sounds like Fort Wayne is bigger and better than Auburn. Anybody been to either of them? Both of them are about a two and a half hour drive for me.
 
I have personally have attended both for years. Both good shows in there own way. Auburn is a more laidback atmosphere and featuring Ih and Farmall this year. I have been a parts vendor at both and they are both well attended. Fort Wayne is a nice and different show as well. Both have a lot of good points and after this winter weather we have had they both will be a great time to get out from the house.
 
I've only been to Auburn once in my life in 1971. After a couple hours there, I ended up in the hospital for several days. Had my brother from ND fly down and drive me home as I was too weak to drive. Never got back there again.
 
Went to ft wayne last year. Was nice and burnt up a
winter day. They featured Cockshutt last year. I went
there to get parts to finish ours up and left with
everything I needed and then some.
 
The show at Ft. Wayne is put on by the club that has a fall show at New Haven and they had the orignal show at Auborn but after the auction park was sold moved to Ft. Wayne. Heads up about Ft. Wayne it is at the coliseum and they charge a $4 parking fee to get on the grounds then the club charge to get in. Been up to the one at Ft. Wayne several times and was to Auburn when it was there but have not been back to Aubern since the change. Ft. Wayne is about 2 hour drive for me with adding an extra hour to get to Aubern. Ft. Wayne dates are March 14, 15 & 16 and hope to go up on sat the 15th.

I haven't been to the tractor show there, but have been to the boat shows and RV shows many times.

Went to Fort Wayne show today. It was smaller than I expected but it was still a nice little show. I got to see a JD 60 and get a couple pictures for mine that I'm working on. I was hoping there would've been a couple more parts vendors though.
