I would think with the kids being off school and many adults taking thus week off it will be very busy.
Just to go on record I am out that week, too many family obligations.

Disappointing. I was talking with the gal in charge about changes to the floorplan necessary du to the return of a couple of longtime exhibitors who are returning after a several year absence. I was trying to expand my train layout but that isn’t possible this year. It ishoing to be a packed room.

Gabe, no worries, with only 10 to 15 residents I think Krisra, Bob, and I can handle it.
Maybe you can help at a future session.

I have been contacted by Juniper Village, an assisted living facility in Monroeville about the possibility of having a Lego build event for their residents. I took my train display there in February and ran trains for them for a couple hours and they were so appreciative and asked me to bring them back in September and November. I’m thinking we…Read more

Just wanted to thank everyone for all of the positive comments on my first endeavor at being part of a LUG display. It was nice to get away from my trains for a couple nights to staff the LUG area. Thank you all for making me feel welcome and allowing me to display along side of such awesome builds.

The only document you need is the dock pass that Josh posted earlier. You will go up the ramp on the right of the dock entrance and tell them you are part of the Lego group setting up in Children’s Village area. They will send you to Ramp A which is at the end. Entering the hall keep to your right. Yes you can keep your car there as late as 4pm…Read more

Pretty sure the stand with the jerky also has the bacon, I want to say the name is something like Michners Meats. You also need to hit the Streudel stand and the biscotti stand is fantastic!

Absolutely! This will be my 15th year at the Home Show. It all started with a small 4 x 6 circus display with a couple tents, animals and a train. This year I’m bringing back the circus, (slightly larger This time 🙂 ). See you there!
