Next week guys!!!!
Finalizing our "Shop" arrangement this week in preparation of packing up and heading out next week! Time has been flying it seems! So much to do and not nearly enough time to get it all done in a satisfactory manner.

For anyone else coming to the Show and need some entertainment on Friday Evening, we are continuing to have our Friday Night Event with Ken Osen speaking about the process of building dioramas with your toy soldiers this year. He is generously providing a diorama 'gift' for all attendees.
The bonus of having dinner and drinks with us and your fellow collectors, what more could you want? ^&grin
And don't forget the Silent Auction for Charity! There is always something good there to bid on and WIN.

If you have any requests for product pick-ups, please let me know by Monday at the absolute latest so we can make certain it gets packed up on Tuesday and loaded into the trailer. If you wait too long, my fear is we will be out of stock!

New this year, our friend Cletus who is a videographer/cameraman at a local TV station will be driving down with Jeff on Friday. He will be filming the Dinner event and doing some clips in rooms and at various spots on Saturday and Sunday. We will be setting up a YouTube Channel with his work afterwards for those of you who cannot attend! The closest thing to being there is you cannot be.
If anyone has dreams of being interviewed, just let me know and I will send him your direction!!! 15 minutes of fame

Me to Tom! Although i'll be leaving my neck of the woods on Friday at 1:30am and not arriving until 8:30pm the same day! Basically a whole day on a plane and in airports (taking into account the time difference between Oz and the US). So I reckon my madness would have already kicked in by the time I arrive...{eek3}^&grin

Once this hits YouTube after the weekend is complete and we are all back home, I will let you know!

Is Tom praying that he can be interviewed next? 😉

No but they were looking to document a Massachusetts collectors experience at the show but unfortunately he is missing in action"..........
 
Not on film and you won't answer your phone, especially if we face-time you!

Darn, missed another one!

I did attend one of the early ones with my son. He was about 12 then. He's now 47.
 
I’d like to know who’s the lucky collector to take home the Casino diorama. That is such a beautiful piece.

Is it true that one must kneel when talking to Andy? If so, he deserves it!
