Hey everyone! With the signing of the building secured, I'd like to announce that the DCAGE Video Game and Collectibles Expo will be happening on June 11, 2011 at the Clearfield Co. Fairgrounds, Expo Bldg #2, located in Clearfield PA. The official website is at www.dcage.net. The site is a little bare now, but more information (including vendor signups, pictures, store, pre-event ticket sales, event schedules, and more) will be posted soon. There is also a facebook page that will be updated to reflect the new name and info.
Just some quick info regarding the building. The building is on the fairgrounds diagonally from the main grounds. It is approximately 10,000 sq ft in the main room and there is extra space in the back for speakers, storage, etc. It is handicapped accessible, has a large kitchen, and electricity at every table. It's not the newest building in the world, but it is well kept and clean. Sanitation is taken care of along with a lot of the other stuff. We can also open it the day before for setups. Finally, there is an RV area if people wanted to use their campers. Hookups are $12/day.
As for the expo itself, plans are underway to arrange for a freeplay arcade. We are also looking at game tournaments, bringing over a bounce house for the kids, a charity auction, door prizes (both classic and new stuff), a swap meet, costume contests and more. My hope is to have 100 tables with mainly video gaming and collectible vendors along with some others in the general gaming industry (ie: darts, pool tables, gambling trips, etc.). We are looking for sponsors and vendors right now, so if you are interested, please send an email to exhibitors@dcage.net. Prices and info are listed on the webpage, but we are willing to talk and discount if you can add to the show (ie: freeplay arcade, contests, donations to the auction, etc.).
Thanks everyone! Hope to see you guys there in June!
