    Beth, This is the first one I'll miss in a number of years.   I hope
    you already have your hotel reservations.  Be sure to allow plenty
    of time in the "big tent" AND some of the roadside sales.  Take time
    to get oriented in the main wholesale tent.   180 or so dealers in
    one 'room' and many with similar merchandise can be a bit confusing.
    Take notes.  Take notes everywhere. Make a list of what you NEED
    before you go and the price you are willing to pay.  You'll see much
    more that you'll want to buy but, so learn where everything is that
    you need first.   You WILL spend more than you planned! Not a lot of
    places to eat in/around Franklin and anything that's good will be
    very crowded.  Parking is good but, you'll have to walk a good bit at
    the main wholesale tent. Wish I could make it this year &* Enjoy,
    Regis
