These caravans are always, always worth the trip. They are almost always free and have nice promotional giveaways. The lines usually are not as long as fan fests/conventions or free signings at a car dealership. In addition, you can make a trip to get, say, a Butler, Hochevar, and/or Greinke and then concentrate on getting different players at the Royals FanFest taking place on January 17 and 18.
