I will be there for a school function and as such will not be OCing. Be aware it is private property and I have no idea how the Lanes feel about carry. I do know there will be reserves from like 4 departments as well as regular SD.
Anything I post may be my opinion and not the law... you are responsible to do your own verification.

I sent an email off yesterday via their website.

The following message is a contact request from your web site.
Comments:

Hello, I was thinking of attending the car show on Saturday and was
curious as to your position of legally carried and holstered handguns.
Being it is your right as a private business I just do not want to waste
time driving there to find out I would not be able to carry for personal
defense reasons.

Thank you,
Tom

I received a response this AM.

Good morning Tom -
Thank you for contacting Lane Automotive. Your concern about our
policies in regards to concealed carry shows that you are indeed a
responsible firearms owner.

Currently, Lane Automotive does not have any policies regarding the
concealed carry of properly registered firearms.

Again, thank you for contacting Lane Automotive. We hope to see you this
weekend for what is setting up to be a great show.

Note that in my original email I did not mention "conceal carry" I have since sent a follow up in regards to open carry. I will post when I get another response.

Oh yeah I may go on Saturday and could always meet up along the way or there.

Good news for car enthusiasts:

"Tom –
As long as current state and federal laws are followed Lane Automotive does not have any policies concerning open carry.
 
Hope to see you this weekend!
Craig"

Thank you Tom... I knew they are standup folks and had been meaning to ask this very question. Good job and great answer.
