Leave it to me to forget some key points. Like, oh, how to get into the joint? ;) I park in the main lot that the cops direct everyone into. It costs about $5 to park each day. I wish I had a better tip than that. You can't buy parking in advance. So, anyone reading this ... got any tips about parking? How to hack the parking sitch at the Mass Equine Affaire? Internet glory will be your reward. :) Buying admission tickets in advance for Thursday isn't that crucial, IMO. I do it, but I've never had to stand in much of a line. However, Saturday might be a different story, so an advance ticket might be a good idea. (Might be too late for that for this year, though.) Advance ticket holders arrive at the ticket booths at the grounds entrance and exchange the tickets for a wristband. The year that I attended for all four days, I received a bracelet I had to wear for all four days. I couldn't cut it off until the trade show was over. Yup, I slept in and showered with it. And had flashbacks to hospital stays, too. Only the food is better at Equine Affaire. ;) Thanks, Fran. Leave it to me to forget some key points. Like, oh, how to get into the joint? ;)

What about parking? Where do you park? And do you buy tix in advance or at the gate? Is there more than one gate? Great tips, Rhonda. What about parking? Where do you park? And do you buy tix in advance or at the gate? Is there more than one gate?
