Hey guys,

I keep reading comments about a Kit Builders show. Apparrently I missed something. What's the official word on this - when - where - etc?

not sure there is an official word but (written in pencil), but the buzz is mid-late 2008 down around st. louis MO...

Thanks. Just want to be sure what's going on so I can plan ahead.

It's a model show like WonderFest in Louisville but it would be put on by Kit Builders magazine.

Never made it out to those original Kitbuilders shows. But those were the times, weren't they? We had Monster Modelfest here in Boston, then there was the Mad Model Party on the left coast, Imagination in Vegas, Wonderfest in Louisville, Kitbuilders in Illinois, and the biannual Chiller in New Jersey. I wanted to go to them all! I guess with the expense of travel, and the fact that marketing kits and doing business over the internet is a lot easier now, having a big show in one place is getting harder to pull off financially. But I miss walking the dealer floor, checking out the new kits, seeing the contest entries, and meeting my fellow kit builders and producers in person.

My wife is from St.Louis and my in-laws are still there (on the Hill )so this won't be too much of a chore to covince the spousal unit to agree to go....then again we are talking about WF next year via St.Louis and leaving the kids with the Grands and just us two shooting over to Kentucky for that one.... man it never rains ...huh...?
