Just a Note....

As Terry Martin has mentioned we will have a membership table
at the show... There will be club members at the table if anyone
has any questions about the show or directions within the show
or surrounding area. We are there to help.

Be sure to stop by, we will be having a small display of club members
figures ... 1 earlier figure they have painted and 1 current figure
they have painted. It is bascially an example showing people new
to the hobby, or thinking about getting into the hobby.... that we
all have to start somewhere. I am the poster child for that, for sure.

We will also have club members identified on their name badges, so
if anyone has any questions walking around the show... and you see
someone with a name badge and our club name.. please stop us and
we can answer any questions you may have.

So who else is coming ?????
It's going to be a great show as Matt mentioned.

Looking forward to seeing a lot of the regulars.
