I'm very interested in the September 15,16 show can anyone tell me if that is happening? I have RC4WD 870k front end loader, RC4WD D10 dozer, Damitz excavator, and 8x8 Scania Dump truck to bring. Anyone can google franksmithRC to check out my videos of what I have. I'm new to socializing with people who share my interests in this and have never been to a show, but I'm very interested after watching them on youtube. It sounds like I need to thank Izzy and Travis after reading others posts on here. I hope I can be a part of this and help make it bigger and a success so everyone has a place to share their wonderful models and play of course.?

I can't wait for september 15/16 show.

Has an agreement been reached about when this Annual January show will be?

[frizzen]

Bump to ask if anything new has been determined on the "Great big awesome new north of Indy (Lebanon) show that will make old Indy (Truck & Contractor) show feel shame"

[Izzy]

Finalize date of show. And applying for a grant to help with site costs.

Stay tuned.

The facility is available for a couple weekends, so the event will happen, just when and at what cost.

Ok, so we lost out with the grant for this year.

But we have a building. It's big enough, about same size as what we had at the back to fifties show. Which oddly enough was more space by sqft then we had at Indy.

The mini pullers will not join us in January. It's too early for their "Runoff & test it before the season" timeline.

Cost - 20$ per adult driver (over 16) for the weekend.

Our room cost is $785 for the weekend. If we have fewer than 40 drivers then I will cover the difference and next year's will cover me.
Travis is looking into a raffle for a prize that could offset a desparity.
If we have more than 40 drivers then we will start a kitty for supplies, like duct tape, with the collected money.

Set up is January 19th
We are all out by early evening of the 21st.

If we have a good turnout, then we will get a bigger space next year. But the room cost goes up as well. So iff we get the word out and increase drivers then the per drive would go down. So talk to your buddies, and get more there.

I expect to keep the date the same if at all possible - (3rd weekend of January) but this is not totally in our control.


I had explained previously why I was so firm with the toy show people. I want and expect to get to a point where we have assistance from either the Tourist board or from a seller to assist with room cost. But at this time we must cover our own cost.
For those who like to have an audience (spectators), I implore you to bring friends and family.

Chris, this is great news, as I'm sure everyone shares my thought about the potential for this to grow into a great show for everyone interested in RC Trucks and Construction Equipment here is the States.

Assuming that my health holds, I will be there at least for one day. But more if I get a good report from my Doctor later this month and nothing else goes wrong.

Let me know if there is something I could help with "behind the scenes" that isn't dependent on me being there the whole time. I'm home recovering and available to do something.

Are you going to place "flyers" on other sites for this? Thoughts about how to get the word out?

Thanks to you, Travis, and the "others" for getting this going for us in the hobby.

I appreciate the work you all have done, thank you.

Looking forward to the event,

Jim

GREAT news Chris! I had a possible conflict for the next weekend (Sat 27th), so that'll work for me.

Keep us posted if you need anything.

Not the 870k since others will have it there. Just the komatsu pc700 and CAT 740
