Attendance numbers at the first show in 2008 were less than desirable. This was due in part to a late start in our advertising campaign, delays with insurance clearances, and being a brand new show at a brand new location. But all is now in place. Advertising for the 2009 show will begin at the Arapahoe County Fair in late July.

The real gold mine for us was the many new friends, contacts, and support we received. Vendors purchased 57 tables and many will return in 2009. "You've got to get through that first year to get established." More module groups and Youth In Model Railroading layouts from both Denver and Colorado Springs (and their following) have expressed a desire to attend in 2009.

Thanks again to the vendors and public who came out in 2008. Most said they had a good time and want information about 2009 when its available. We will again have the fabulous Arapahoe County Fairgrounds Facility.
