Anyone ever been to Canastota on Induction Weekend?

I made my first visit to the Hall of Fame last summer. It is about a five hour ride for me, so I went to the Baseball Hall in Cooperstown first, then drove to the boxing Hall in Canstota.
I was kinda surprised when I got to the boxing Hall of Fame. I wasn't even sure it was open at first. There was only one other person inside the building when I went in.
To me, the neatest items on display were the hand castings of various fighters throughout history (the two that stood out most were Primo Carnera and Abe Simon).
Has anyone ever been to Canstota during induction weekend? Is it worth another trip for me. How accessible are the returning boxers to general fans during the weekend? Any information is appreciated.
