On a side note, if you ever get the chance, the Airborne museum in Ft. Bragg is open to the public and is an interesting place to explore for anyone interested in the history and evolution of the American paratrooper to modern times. I highly recommend it, it has a gift shop where I bought an original James Dietz print, "Moving the Herd" a few years ago that has at least doubled in value unlike most coins i've bought in that same time span...
35 dealers is about the norm for the Fayetteville show. Most of the dealers, if not all of them, are members of the local coin club. The proceeds from the show go to support the coin club. Traffic at the show is usually rather light. The show has always provided a few good buying opportunities for me.

P.S. Raleigh has several coin shows a year, and they are much larger than the Fayetteville show.

Just got back from the show. There was a really good turnout IMO, Most tables were open and full. I bought a few items, though I didn't expect to find much.
Cool show, I'll be looking forward to the next one.

<< <i>What can I expect in the way of dealers and crowds? >>
It's Fayettville, so you can expect to possibly get shot!
I went to the show in Reidsville, NC last Saturday - they advertised 40 tables, but only about 15 were set up.

Too far of a drive for only 35 dealers.
