www.ModelersPALOOZA.com I was sent this site yesterday and wondered why RC ships was not part of it. I contacted them, and they said that they knew nothing of us!!!!! They promised to invite us for next years show. They also stated that they will have a larger facility for next year. Looks like an interesting way to spend an afternoon....(I plan on being there.)
I suggest you take a look at what the WWCC is doing at the Maker Faire. We've built our own portable pond with a safety shield, set up bleachers, and will be putting on a battle in front of cheering crowds. There's also an IMPS show near us, but we won't be battling there this year. We have contacted them, though, and are in negotiations to battle there next year
