When we stopped by (couldn't stay more than an hour) last year's
international in Dayton (our first), someone came up and greeted us and got
us paperwork and introduced us to our local officers. I felt downright
intimidated by all the attention!
It was quite obvious where the vintage trailers were parked. There is an
office you can go to to get forms, etc. if no one finds you. But it's so
friendly in the vintage area that all you have to do is strike up
conversations with people and you'll be set in no time.
