I used to live in Bergen County, but never saw their show live.  Have seen several nice photos and even some video...very nice.  When I was growing up, we used to go to Carlstadt and see the New York Society of Model Engineers set up.  They open a few times a year to the public and it is fantastic too.  Thanks for sharing and by all means, please post photos/video from this show.
