Does anyone know whether this is on? I heard it might be cancelled because of the World Expo 2017 taking place in Chicago this year.

 

[jazzeum]

I had heard that too. Brad the Baron will know for sure.

Yeah, let Brad fill us in on this before rumors start spreading like wildfire, I've already had two customers email me telling me they heard the show is cancelled.

Nothing is set in stone right now, so lets wait and see how it shakes out.

It would be a shame as you hate to lose a year and lose show momentum...............plus someone else might step in and start a show and I for one would not want that......................(and you know who I am referring to Baron.........................)

I look forward to seeing everyone who comes up this year! I hope the vendors like the new location as much as we do, because we hope to remain there for years to come.

Prost!

[Andanna]

But it is not the Wilmington Riverfront!

 

[Andanna]

BTW, Brad, do. you have a list of the Vendors? That would be great.

I attended the Show yesterday (although I got there a bit late). Ran into Andreas (Andanna) and Mark (Revwarbuff) and, of course, saw George and Larry and Tom Dubel, who seemed to be doing well. Talked to Matt of Hobby Bunker for a few minutes as well as our host Brad James, the Baron. I missed Zach but he probably had a long drive back.

There weren't as many exhibitors as in previous years but that may be due to the upcoming Expo in Chicago.

Here a few photos of some of the offerings.

HMS Discovery 1901
