See Hundreds of Pictures from the 2013 Jerseyfest Show !

[moonlightdrive21]

Hey guys:

The entire Jerseyfest team was blown away by how big and successful the show was this year! We are grateful for all the attendees, vendors, artists, support team, etc. who participated. We just posted a gallery that contains hundreds of pictures from the show. It shows the incredible amount, quality and diversity of models and art that were for sale and on display, plus how much fun it was for everyone for 3 days. Click here to view the gallery: 2013 Jerseyfest Model & Kit Statue Fair » JerseyFestFair

We applaud the hobby community because so many people believed in and showed up for this convention from all over the country and even from outside of the USA.

Also would like to again say thank you to Steve Wang, Lorne Peterson, Jeff Yagher and all of our other guest presenters for making the show extra special.

In summary...

- Over 65 people attended Jerseyfest Academy classes, which occurred the day before the vendor show started. The programming and artists were first rate - thank you guys.
- We had over 112 vendor tables, and sold out.
- Many vendors did great with sales. The various kits, art and products for sale were phenomenal.
- The contest room was jam packed with 32 tables filled with 349 entries - the quality was jaw dropping.
- Every presentation/demo was a home run with great presenters that covered diverse topics, and had great audience turnouts.
- The hallways and bar were packed with partying hobbyists having great conversations and laughs all day and night. Even had great food and drink just like the old basement days :wink: ). We were all one big family, but this time there were hundreds of us.

But there's always things that could have been better and room for improvement, and we will work even harder for next year's show.

Hope to see many of you at Jerseyfest in September of 2014 for an even bigger and better show. Much more info to come, so stay tuned.

Cheers to this great hobby of ours !

Thanks,
Dave

I was glad to get to visit the show this year, and Dave, it was great! A lot of great pieces in the exhibition area, a lot of great things in the vendor area, and the program of events was also superb. I'd like to know how you got some of the speakers (that's one of the ideas I want to steal from you for our show--bring back programs. Tony's helping ) For those who didn't make it, you should, next year. And if fantasy and sci-fi aren't necessarily your area, I believe you can still appreciate and learn something, from any exhibition of the painter's and miniaturist's work.

Prost!
Brad

Thanks Brad! We have to keep supporting and helping each other in this great hobby and you know how strongly I feel about that. We should all continue to be one big community. Thanks for the compliments!

I realized as Hershbell and I drove up, that it's not far from Wayne and the PAL Center, as the crow flies.
