It was recently announced that the Springfield, Ohio show is being held May 14-16th.  Looks like it will be big.

Below is what was recently posted by John Huckeby in the ATCA listserve.  Nothing is posted on the ATCA website yet, but be sure to keep watching for it.  Here is a link to the ATCA shows section of the ATCA website for future reference:

Quote from John Huckeby:

The Springfield Show that will be held in Springfield, OH on May 14, 15, & 16 is on for sure. We will again be set up in the barn # 3, same as last year. Also, just like last year, we will be able to set up on Thursday evening beginning at 4 PM.
  This is a very unusual show. We will be able to sell on Thursday evening. We will have public going by our booths beginning at 7 AM on Friday morning and all day up to about 4 PM. We will have public going past our booths beginning at 7 AM on Saturday morning and all day up until about 4 PM.... and if you want to stay for Sunday.... they come out again, not just as many.
If you have other items than telephones, you are welcome to bring them. Just check with Jerry Williams.... he brought an absolute fantastic display of advertising signs, many were gas and oil..... he sold many as well. There will be a buying public there. There will be approximately 1400 dealers set up on the grounds and they come to buy and sell. This first big show of the year brings out some of the best as dealers hunt for good stuff all winter and then bring it here to move it on.   Last year there were string phones, early Bell items, a long pole, and a couple of pony receivers for under $100 that found their way into our pockets.
Now if you are used to just being in a room with fellow collectors and not seeing much public come to buy, then this show will not be for you. There are over 10,000 buyers who come to the show each day.......Some come to just look... many come to buy.
We had 85 tables for this show last year and I expect it to be just as large this year. I will have information in the next newsletter and in further emails about this show.
