How was it?.....Thanks, Mike

Mike - In my opinion, from an attendee's perspective, it was great. Unlike the field house at Hamburg, there was plenty of room to navigate, people weren't hanging over you as you viewed the tables, space and room to talk to the vendors, quality vendors - all in all I felt it was a major upgrade. The only negative I have was I would have liked to see a few more vendors - another 30 or so and it would be in my opinion, a great show; some of the familiar faces usually at Hamburg were not present. But as word gets around about the venue, etc. I think this will rectify itself and we'll see more vendors in attendance. Most of the vendors I spoke with indicated they liked it - good vehicle access and unloading, plenty of room behind and around the the tables, good attendee traffic, etc.

Well that's my take on it - I'll probably plan to attend the next one which I believe will be held outside of Philly sometime in April; I'm hoping the change in rotating of venues won't affect the show's growth.

Venue was great, plenty of room as other poster stated. So few vendors made it quite a negative for the 3 hour drive from my location. I hope they can grow the vendors or it just won't be worth the travel unless your local to the area.
