Ventura CA and the place gets a lot of tourist business on the weekend from the folks in Los Angeles.
we are "the country" to them even though we are 90 minutes away.

They asked the dealers to stay away during the weekend to help the occupancy numbers and new store flow of people in aisles.
Dealers have to wear masks while in the place. They are being smart about it.

Owners said they were happy with the number of customers they had. Said it was busy.
they were mostly their regulars who wanted to get out and get back to collecting again.
They had some pent up demand there.

He said they didn't get much of the usual LA tourist traffic though which makes sense with the protests and Covid combo down there.
My booth did $123.00 is sales over the weekend so I was happy with that kind of start after they were closed for two months.
