Three day & two day shows are generally a disaster to all!
One of the reasons CSMMI moved from the three day format at St Catharines was due to the fact that the Sunday was so poorly attended (as in 2010, cannot say on 2011 as did not attend).

The idea was to move to a two day format (ie: Fri & Sat) but I don't think this is any better considering the 2013 showing where both days were very poorly attended!
& of course the location may well have contributed to poor attendance also.

I have found in over 40 yrs of attending shows the BEST FORMAT is a SINGLE DAY show, & as we all know its all over by approx noon, altho all of the single day shows usually go until approx 1400-1500, presumably as the hall must be booked for the entire day.

I know I am DONE with multiple day shows!
