Are there any pure Large Scale Shows? I think a traveling one that was small, yet well stocked would be very sucessful. I know I'd cash in one of my U.S. Savings Bonds if I knew one was coming.

Benny, Glad to here it! Improving on what you already have makes it an even bigger acomplishment, especially after including demolition into the equation.
Did you keep the layout the same or did you change it?

Rene,

Regarding Rocky Goat's concern about his subscription, where are Kalmbach's publications verified by the USPS and entered in the mailstream? I imagine that most of the mailing is drop-shipped to the farther destinations, but my guess is that subscribers in the Midwest get their copies a few days earlier....
