ROLLS, FLOATS & FLYS - Sunday, October 27, 2019

Hobbyvendor will be at the Rolls, Floats & Flys Hobby Show tomorrow - October 27, 2019. The show is at a new location, and it's a much better facility for presenting the show. Over this past summer, Herb Deeks showed me the new venue. It is quite a step up, and will provide both vendors and attendees alike a much better hobby show experience. The new location has many advantages that the former location did not provide. The Vendor's Hall is much larger, and much easier access for all vendors. One of the best things I like about the Deeks show is the excellent organization, and the large open space in the bay area for vendors. Much ample space for parking, and vendor's entry is right outside the vendor's parking area. I'm thinking this new venue is really going to work out well for the Rolls, Floats & Flys Hobby Show, and wishing the best for the Rolls, Floats & Flys Hobby Show.
