What A Book Sale!

This weekend is the annual book sale that is held at the Penn State Ag Arena. This year is the first that I've been over for a few years.
Here are some numbers to give you an idea of the size of this book sale - try to picture a 12,000 square foot arena with 225+ tables holding over 200,000 books. Now, insert into that arena several hundred (at least!) people trying to look at those books - some carrying boxes, bags, pushing handcarts, etc. Dad even saw one person trying to pull a wagon through the place! Add all of this together and you have what can only be described as a madhouse!
I did end up getting about 20 more books for my collection of history books.
This is one of three parking lots outside the building. This one is actually across the road from the arena.
This is a view out across the arena from where I was standing once I finally got done. Mom and Dad were still looking!
This is down along the outside edge of the arena where the six checkout tables (all of them with lines!) are located.
Thanks For Dropping In!
