    Default Ohio Retro game shows?

    I know CCAG is coming up, but does any one know anything about CORGS for this year or any other ohio shows this summer?

    Usually the video game stores around Columbus would have fliers for upcoming, Columbus area shows, but I haven't seen any recently. There's a yearly Atari show, but it looks like in might be in jeopardy, according to this email I received:

    All.

    As you know, Atari Computer Enthusiasts of Columbus (Ohio) have been
    holding a Vintage Computer and Video Game Swap Meet for over the past 15
    years, most of that time at a Community Center on the city’s north
    side. When ACEC found that Center it was a godsend in that 1) it was
    inexpensive, 2) it had no problems with use by a “commercial venture”.
    Item #2 was a particular problem with all other public (inexpensive)
    places we investigated (e.g. libraries) as other places had problems
    with money being exchanged within the facility. (In fact, that was one
    reason we had to leave our “first” Swap place, Chemical Abstracts).

    Just after sending out our recent survey to make certain our annual time
    for the Meet was a good time – just after we received strong support to
    continue as we have, we received word that the Community Center we’ve
    been using has gone to a more designated, full-time use, and will no
    longer be available to us. This has coupled with a background
    uncertainty as to the ownership of this “community” center … the
    community has changed in 50+ years.

    If there were an Armed Forces veteran in our group or among our friends,
    then we could possibly rent a local VFW hall at an affordable price.
    Beyond that, we’re at square one, and can use any advice or contacts any
    would care to provide.

    Stay tuned; we’ll keep trying. If we succeed, then the Swap would be
    the traditional second Saturday of September. If we do not, then the
    next message from me will likely be a cancellation notice.
