I just saw a post on our Facebook group that Bill passed away today. The news came from a former vendor at our shows.
I was informed by someone who is close to the situation that Bill's family plans on going forward with the show this year, the date is November 4th, they will be mailing out dealer contracts at some point in the near future...………………...
I'm curious to learn if they plan on keeping the show, and Vintage Castings, going.
Any possibility the someone will "Buy?" the rights to this show … ?
I am not sure if anyone owns the name "East Coast Toy Soldier Show" but if an individual wanted to put on a show in Hackensack, NJ in early November is there anything that could prevent them??? ^&confuse

Probably not but Bill had a name, contacts with dealers, a mailing list of customers and a lot of good will built up. Anyone can start a show but to replicate Bill's success is another story.
After this show departs, there won't be any show in this state worth attending.
I don't want to answer for the family as it's their call, but from what I have heard, no and no.
The family was not interested in running the show this year but had a change of heart and are now going forward with it.
I wish them all the best and hope it goes smoothly for them.
