Small update, but can tell folks that things are coming along smoothly for the show.

Got a couple more vendors this year than last. Free console area is going to be nice(with projectors!) We also will have a local band playing some NES covers hopefully. A know that this is the show that will have some AMAZING deals.

and for some bigger news

For any collector out there, our silent auction is going to totally be awesome this year...details to come

[swlovinist]

Okay here are some of the silent auction items. The silent These have been graciously donated from gwyndion(Nintendoage) and a HUGE thanks goes out to him. The auction runs from 10:00 AM when the doors open until 1:00 PM. Simply write your name next to the bid you want to make on the bid sheet. Highest bid at 1:00 gets to purchase the item. All SILENT proceeds from the auction go directly to CJAC.

also, if anyone is looking for a hotel to use, I am currently working with Comfort Inn(about 100 yards away from event) to get a group rate for rooms. It is about 10 to 15 percent off approx.

I have to say thanks to you guys for putting this together for the third year in a row. My girlfriend and I had a great time last year and we are already planning to make the drive down to attend this year. Goodtimes will be had, and it's all for a good cause.

Thank you for your kind words. It is a group effort on this one. While I take lead on the organization on this one, there are people behind the scenes that make this happen. Alot goes into making a show roll smoothly. I could not do it alone. PRGE has contributed their time, effort and resources not to mention contribute financially to make this event happen. A special thanks goes out to them espically Recycled Gamer(Chuck) and Coreys429(Corey) for helping with finding this years venue and helping with a floorplan...not to mention about 100 other things.
