Default Anyone been to Blakesburg?

For several days we have enjoyed having a delightful couple (flying a
beautiful -- and gigantic -- old Luscombe, all the way from the D.C. area!)
stay with us who are on their way to the antique aircraft fly-in, held at
Blakesburg, IA each year. Despite our owning poor old (but not old enough!)
Atlas, they have invited us to attend this weekend.

(Apparently the organizers *will* allow our Spam-can to land on their farm
during the show, but they will park us WAY out in the middle of no where,
far from all the antiques, lest any of our "spam-ness" rubs off on those
beautiful old Stinsons...

We're considering attending -- our guests explained the somewhat bizarre
"red flag/green flag" arrival procedure -- but has anyone here ever flown
into this show? Anything to watch out for, or not to miss? It's pretty
pricey, at seventy bucks, but I guess that keeps the riff-raff out!
