That makes me think of Maggie and the Ferocious Beast (great googly moogly!)...LOL!

I'll show my hubby the info and see what's what.

ps do you need to be a member of a guild to compete?

What is the expected attendance? How many vendors will be there?

[wildrose]

Okay, we're now seriously planning to be there. When I found out how close it is to Chicago, that was a big draw. My son has been frantically trying to get us to take him to the Museum of Science and Industry every since he saw the dvd "The Great Train Story". Plus, it'd be his first ride on a plane to get there. How much better could it get for a 4 yr old!

Id like to know about the demos and the vendors. is that available yet? Bronc

I spoke with the show chair and he was very helpful. It is an open show - no need to be a guild member to enter.

Give him a call with all questions, I'd say: Bob Chambers at 708-895-5511

Bree - Not sure. The spring shows are definitely smaller. Last year CALG was able to get Ron's Tools, the local Tandy store, and two others. They also had Tippman in for a day, which was the first time anyone had invited them! That brought Tippman to the IFOLG show last year.

We had something like 150 people attend that spring show which was a pretty good turnout. While classes aren't typical at a spring show, there are always demos going on. I haven't heard of any workshops yet, but there may be a few. The biggest things is competition. They use IFOLG rules and judging criteria, but the shows are usually open (no guild membership required). The raffle tables are usually pretty good too!

The spring shows are fun and definitely more regional. We didn't have a banquet last year, but PSLG is having one.

I know for you it's kind of a long drive, but you'd be welcome and have fun.

Well... I was born over your way and have many friends there as well as family. But I have to go a reunion and a wedding in Chicago later in the year as well as the IFOLG in Indianapolis so I am not sure I can justify another trip out that way... especially since it is boring riding!
