Ramfins59 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I just got a very disturbing and sad email from a fellow LIARS Club member, that the upcoming MassCar Show on March 15, 2015 will be their LAST SHOW...!!!!!! They state that they have no plans to host any further shows after this one. They want to get back to basics in their club without the hassles and responsibilities involved with running a show. I have so many fabulous memories of good times while attending the MassCar club's show on a yearly basis before I moved to western PA. This show will truly be missed by many modelers.
southpier Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 bummer .... although i can only imagine the volunteer hours put into something like this.
Jon Cole Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Hoping to see some photos here of their last show.
southpier Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 the announcer was going on and on about the show for next year. i believe he said it would be March 20, 2016 - but don't write that down in pen. the vendors will be the same, the location will be the same (i hope they turn on the ventilation fans- i came out smelling like homefries from the adjacent Holiday Inn restaurant), it's just the Masscar guys won't have judging & trophies. but might have model display tables. sounds like a big car kit flea market. i didn't see and great deals, some okay deals, and some priced 50% above internet shops. so i guess it pays off to be familiar with what you want. there were a lot of old boxes with high prices, AMT 1960 Ford pickup for $275. i guess it would be a complete unbuilt A grade kit for that? and a lot of Styline kits for around $100 - $125. a bunch of nicely built models, too. some real talented modelers. and some younger folks that i hope are developing a lifelong hobby. i don't take pictures; sorry to disappoint.
Jon Cole Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Joe- thanks! This was hyped as the last Masscar, and technically, I guess it is. I like the idea of switching to a non judgmental show next year. The prices don't surprise me. They are always in that price range. Supply and demand. It's been a while since I attended.
Foxer Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I really like that it's going to a NNL type show. One reason I didn't go to enter anything was because I don't do contests anymore. Should be a bigger draw for me next year. Anyone have any photos from the show????????????????????????????????
scale trucker Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 i was enterd in the show and what they say is that was the last show from now on will be a swap meet instead...who knows
