Jefferson is huge. I went a few times 15 years ago. My in-laws lived in Madison and we would go there for weekend. My most ingrained memory was, if the people in the area needed spring rain they could count on a deluge that weekend. Glad I had a 4 wd pickup, as twice, there were cars stuck all over the parking field from small ponds and mud created after we parked.
As for demographic, it's the same with most car shows and swap meets. Same people from the era of muscle cars and we're all getting old. My local Camaro Club hosts some shows for all year and make cars and then the younger genre show up with their rice burners and twin turbo, LS cars.
