Gary............it's the BEST regional show (Region VI, i believe) held in the country..........imo
hold off mailordering 'til you've spent the two days at this show...........i'd be surprised if you'll be disappointed.........
it used to be run by Penny & Lee Thomas..........and if it still is.....again, it IS the BEST...........
my affiliation was through Phil's Hobbies (sadly now defunct) where i "worked" for nye on 6 years and had the ultimate pleasure of representing Phil's at 6 of these incredible events............
for quite awhile now, it's been Squardron ScaleFest and for this one weekend Squadron opens their doors to their warehouse and if i'm not mistaken, they sell there as well as having an enormous vendor table at the show.................
so, that i won't go on and on and on and on and on.............drop me an e-mail if you've a mind ta and i'd be happy to ramble on for hours about this most wonderous of scale modelling events..............
many many old friends still attend................were i to be geographically closer, i'd see ya there..........
in days gone by.......Monogram/Revell, KMC, Engines & Things, Badger, Tamiya, AeroMaster, Cutting Edge, Hasegawa, Academy, Accu.Min......etc......etc.......etc........would almost always be in attendance...............
enjoy........wish i could be there............
