That girl works for a cheep outfit --- can't even send her to some of the shows for a non holiday company sponsored few days out of the office with pay, of course![V]

Even my wife who works for the state gets some days out of the office to go around to different state entities and explain pension benefits to other state workers! Aunt Ruthann (our Gov.) even provides a state car for that![8D]

You'd think that a company that wants to sell magazines about model railroading would have representation at model railroad shows as big as those![%-)]

I emailed our Events Marketing department, and there are no plans to have staff at any of these shows. Sorry, guys. [V]

Marty,

I haven't heard what involvement GR will have at the show(s). Staff certainly will be at the East Coast show (ad staff and most likely Marc Horovitz), but as for the rest, I don't know. I'll check into it. . .

I get the honor of helping Ron out with the MWLSTS and I hope to see many folks there.
Planning some fresh clinics and lots more that i don't even know about.
Will GRYS have a booth at our show with a body, or w/o??[;)]
I can help set up flies if need be I know Ric and some others also did it last year

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

Aristo-Craft will be sponsoring three large-scale shows in 2006. The East Coast Large Scale show will remain in York, PA. The Midwest version will be in Kenosha WI (near Milwaukee), and the South East version in Georgia.
