Portland is on the east side of Indiana, not far from the Ohio border and just north of I-70. Official start date is July 16 but you can show up on Monday the 14th. Its a great meet but you have to be a member to camp or vend, which is 25 bucks to join then they charge 60 bucks to camp, vend. You can park out front and walk in but their is still a daily general admission.
I go ahead and pay the 85 bucks and consider it a vacation, what the heck thats cheaper than staying at a state park and a lot more fun!.........Don
