ZTony8 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 We got word this past week that our host venue, Macomb County Community College, is re-opening their activities building as of September so we were told that our show could resume this November. As requested by several attendees we will be enlarging the model show display area a bit. To do that we will be slightly reducing the number of vendor tables. Not to worry, the loss will be less that a dozen tables so we will still have about 300 tables. The NNL style show themes will be '70 and '71 muscle cars and Corvettes. There's no added charge to enter the NNL above the show entrance fee of $5. See you there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter31a Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Great to hear! Hopefully the border is back open by then and those of us from the Great White North can attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul alflen Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 If our Canadian modeling friends cannot attend due to our Governor still closing the border , that's ok! More models for the U.S. modelers to buy!( JUST KIDDING) LOL. We love our Canadian modeling friends! Eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTony8 Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 An update. We may not have the slot car drags as the owner of the track has sold it. We have a possible line on another track but if it doesn't happen we are discussing moving the contest to the drag track area and deciding what to do with the current contest area.

There are only so many show attendees which equals how much money is in the room. If a show expects to attract quality vendors and the aftermarket they need to make sure that it will be worthwhile for those vendors to spend money on travel and accommodations.

That may be true, but I prioritize shows based on the number of vendors. I've pretty much given up on contests. I just go to look and buy.

The room is large but we have to allow for aisle width and door access per the fire marshal and we only have so many tables available to use. We are aware that our attendees would like better access to the contest area which is why we are discussing rearranging the layout for a better show experience.

ZTony8 Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 The model show area will be moved across the room to where the dragstrip was located( no more dragstrip- the owner sold it off) and the aisles will be widened for easier viewing of the models. The former model show area will be filled with more vendor tables. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZTony8 Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 One more week until the show! Still only $5 admission and that also covers any entries into the Motor City NNL. That's right- no extra charge to enter models! Bring lots of entries! Show off what you built or are building. We want to see your stuff. if you've never been to our show or it's been well before the pandemic that you came, come see our show. The most vendor tables ever for us and an expanded show area will be waiting for you to experience the largest model-centric show in the region.

peter31a Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I was really looking forward to coming to the show when your government announced that they were opening the border on November 8. Unfortunately our government is insisting on a pricey Covid 19 test to get back home. At $150 to $300 for the test, well, it’s just not going to happen. Look forward to seeing you next year.

Dirt Modeler Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 could you forward me the information on the show, I am a vendor and could attend if you have space available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul alflen Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Peter31a, Does the test have to be done at the border on the way back? Are there over-the-counter Covid tests that can be bought cheaply at the drug stores here (USA)?(Rite aid , Walmart , Walgreens, CVS)?, and be used to prove you don't have covid on the way back? Just thinking out loud for you! You need to ask the Border Patrol these questions ahead of time. The cost of that Covid test in Canada looks like a Money grab for the Canadian government!( moderator- just stating a fact here not making it political!)We welcome all Canadian model fans to our show in Macomb, Michigan, Good luck and Happy hunting!
