Stabling is $45 a day. So factor that in. IBC is always on Thursday.
Devon is not really set up to be a haul-in facility, so getting a day stall is recommended.
On that note. Trailer parking lot is 4 miles away from the Devon show grounds. Some hotels will let you park in their parking lot. Call before hand to make sure.
The atmosphere is great! My first Devon experience was last year and I had so much fun.
