If weather is decent tomorrow, thinking of blowing out the calendar and making a run up there for the Farm Machinery Show just for the heck of it. Any suggestions for preferred airport in the area? Any recent experience with landing/tie-down fees for a quick day trip up there?

TIA
 
KLOU had 2 FBOs, not sure they still do. Last time I landed there was a few years ago. Facility fee at the smaller one (more GA than jet) was $7.
 
Just to circle back on this one...

We went to KLOU (Bowman Field). It was relatively easy in and out. Got some vectors from Louisville Approach as we were coming in right around a UPS push. Got squeezed in among a few trainers in the pattern, but no big deal. FYI, the FBO (Louisville Executive) is about the least FBO-looking building on the field. Had to get taxi instructions to get there b/c I was headed the wrong way initially. Unfortunately, I don't know what fees or fuel cost is there - I gave them a credit card and said "top it off, we'll be back this evening" and headed to our Uber and didn't grab a receipt when we got back that afternoon. Saw a $220 charge hit the card which would have covered ~30 gal of 100LL and whatever fees (if any).
