2015 Shows were called "Our Heritage in Time"
I know this was the theme for many years, but will very well describe 2015 shows.
Displays included many highlights from displays from the last 10 and more years whether they are flowers, trains, vintage autos, cameras, civil war, historic homes, beautiful landscapes, CityScapes, ships, lighthouses, etc.!

2015 There was a special show called Brass Cameras & Brass Auos
This was held at one of the worlds foremost "brass era" auto museums, Seal Cove Auto Museum in Maine. It would be worth a visit to see this unique and fantastic collection of multimillion dollar autos.
Here is a link to my web site describing the show August 2015:
