One of EnterTRAINment Junction's missions is to promote the hobby of model railroading in particular and scale modeling of any kind in general. The Model Engineering Show held for the past eight years has been one of the many means employed to that end.
The 2016 edition of the Model Engineering Show is getting a new name. We are calling it The SCALE MODEL EXPO, a name that better conveys the message that the show is a showcase of high quality scale model work of all kinds.
We're getting an early start in promoting the 2016 show too. So make your plans now to participate in the 2016 Scale Model Expo at EnterTRAINment Junction the weekend of March 5th & 6th.
The 2015 Show had increased participation producing a good mix of quality exhibits, including some vendors. We are excited at the prospects that the 2016 show will be bigger and better yet. Efforts are being made to reach more potential exhibitors and/ or vendors and guests, an effort with which you can help. Because of some advanced promotion we are already getting inquiries from potential vendors.
The show is still free for participants as well as guests, thereby it does not generate funds for either promotion or production of the show, therefore no-cost avenues of advertising are the only recourse for attracting both participants and guests. So, we ask our participants, both exhibitors and vendors, to help with promotion efforts in any way you can. Attached to this message find a PDF containing the 2016 show flyer. Feel free to reproduce it in any way that you will and pass them on to other potential exhibitors, vendors and/or guests and arrange to have them posted wherever appropriate that will catch the attention of the public.
Because of the influx of new participants we've developed a more formal registration form complete with Terms and Conditions which are not really anything new it's just that they are now in writing. The Registration Form is also attached in PDF form. If you will be participating, don't wait. Go ahead, fill it out and send it in. Also, feel free to forward it to any appropriate potential exhibitor and/or vendor.
EnterTRAINment Junction which reaps very few dollars from this show does not assign paid personnel to put the show on. Set up and take down are accomplished by the show manager with whatever volunteer help he can muster. EnterTRAINment Junction volunteers have been very helpful in getting the show set up but are not available for the take down. As long as we do not charge admission, very little help is required while the show is in progress, however at take down, starting at 4 PM Sunday, with the realization that participants are engaged in their own take downs, any assistance forthcoming would be most appreciated,
Hoping to see you March 5 & 6,
Larry Koehl, Show Coordinator
