Event headquarters is the Holiday Inn, 6111 Fleur Drive, Des Moines, Iowa. The location is convenient for those who drive as well as those who arrive by air at the Des Moines International Airport, located across the street.
Featured for 2007 is the large indoor and outdoor swap meet held on Thursday and Friday. A favorite Thursday evening happening is the room to room swap. Participants at the Holiday Inn open their rooms for the sale of various items or to swap stories and share pictures of their collections. On Friday evening at 7 p.m. a special 250 piece oil can and bottle auction is held in the ballroom of the Holiday Inn. The highlight of the event is the 450 piece petroleum collectibles auction beginning on Saturday at 9 a.m.
Each year Iowa Gas sponsors a display of items from a featured oil company. This year the show will focus on collectibles from a company to be announced.. The displays are assembled by meet participants and are available for viewing during the event.
Registration for participants and swap spaces

Forms for August 2008 will be available at the end of January 2008
