Mike travels with me to Reno on occasion... I set up across from them at Cody and the Colorado show. The Oregon show dates were set last year and the Reno dates scheduled later... The Big Reno show has new promotors that haven't been able to figure out scheduling conflicts... they booked on top of Tulsa this past spring as well...I don't know if its a facilities availability issue or ???
We used to coordinate with Lou Fascio Sr. and he was great about avoiding conflicts with our OAC show. Junior was just the opposite. He'd say he'd avoid the conflicts, then schedule his show the same weekend. The new people didn't even respond to requests last year when we told them we'd like to avoid having our show the same weekend. So we sent them our schedule in hopes they'd avoid conflict, but they didn't seem to.
I always have my table across from John Dutcher in Colorado, but they screwed things up royally this May! They put the stupid military vehicles where my tables were and moved me down closer to Mike's tables. I wasn't happy since I registered well ahead to guarantee my spot, and John wasn't happy when I visited him. He thought I didn't come to the show since my tables were gone. Not sure I'll be back again after over 30 years attending the CGCA show.
