The Fred Hall Show in Long Beach, CA is the biggest retail outdoor show in the US.
I took a video of the show for those who don't visit there.
It took almost 20 minutes by walking fast before opening. The video is divided with 4 parts.
Here is the first part.

Hmmm... They got alota stuff. Wish I could go. I 'd probably spend most of the time with the small boats and paddle boards
I've always wanted to time a CA trip to coincide with the Fred Hall show. Haven't been able to pull it off yet. One of these days.
Who is/was Fred Hall BTW? Some of us East coasters are ignorant on a lot of West coast stuff.
Nice video Kil, thanks.

The show has been going on for 73 years so I suppose he was a promoter but I don't know. I've only been going to it for 20+ years.
My understanding is that he originally started the show in the late 40's. Now it is run by his son.
