Minutemen Toy Soldiers Chicago show report 2017 version (1 Viewer)

[Warrior]

Got back early afternoon yesterday from the show, should be all caught up by Friday. Overall, it was a great show for me, the best Chicago for me since 2012. The room trading was very good, the show itself was as well. Major thanks to Roger and his family for all the hard work they put into the show, they did a superb job of promoting the show and they had signs and banners everywhere in the hotel, great, great, job, so thanks.

Here are some room and show table pictures................

And in case no one believed the rumor, Sammy made it this year..............so he's The Loch Ness monster and Bigfoot no more............................



Now we need Jason to show up next..................^&grin


Larry and I had our fair share of adventures this year, the highlight of the show for me was the breakfast we had with a fellow dealer, the unintentional humor that followed was beyond hysterical.

Really enjoyed seeing a lot of familiar faces at the show plus some surprises like Beaufighter from Arizona, a good customer from Florida who I haven't seen in years, Greg Guy who I did not expect to see, same with Hans Hedrich and also it was great to see John Bennett and his wife Jo Jo.

We had a great dinner courtesy of Steve Chong at the Webber grill, thanks again Steve.

I really enjoyed this show, one of the highlights was the two and a half hour BS session Larry and I had Friday night in the room, just a fun night.

This show is the best the hobby has to offer, thanks to everyone who supported me and last but not least, a huge, huge thanks to Larry for all of his support, assistance and words of wisdom, he's a great help and more importantly, a great guy..................
