Jeffcat, truer words were never spoken. I grew up in a collector/picker family and spent many years at auctions, gun shows and antique shows. Tractor shows, car shows, museums are all the same- you must engage with the people who have come to see your pride and joy. Greet every person who even hesitates in front of your display. Ask people where they are from, what their interests are, do they have a farm background? Listen to their stories about times gone by.

When it is hot and I see a tired looking person go by I always invite them to sit a spell, have a free cold drink and visit. They love to talk about the family tractor "that got away" or the one they have at home. I show red iron but I pretend I am really interested in hearing about their green, orange, blue iron and the visitors really get to talking! I meet interesting people, I learn a few things; for a retired man it is a fun 3 days.
