Zanesville

Is anybody planning on going to the show in Zanesville? It's only 2 weeks away and I have just decided to go. Hope to see a few of you there.

Hi Steve,
Being as they can't go to the trouble of putting out any information I have decided to go to the Indiana show next month.

 

[stevehuckss396]

I'm doing both. From what I was told there won't be anything about it different.

 

[stevehuckss396]

The info has been on the website for a while now like normal.

 

[Chiptosser]

I wasn't aware of it. Hour and a half drive, I may have to show up.

Which airport is it located?

The nearest large airport would be Columbus, Ohio. It would be about an hour drive to Zanesville from the airport.

The show thus year was a bit of a let down. Only seemed to be about 1/3rd of the exhibitors. Was the same day as the black hills show. I'm sure that didn't help. Maybe 25 tables. If not for the RC planes and model railroad exhibits the hanger would have looked empty.

The spectator side was about normal. The air plane and car show were pretty good.

Algonquin seemed to be larger last year, but it is not a model-engine-only show, but more of a hit-and-miss and steam tractor show..
It does have a number of model engines on display, but all outdoor under tents/canopies.

It will be interesting to see what happens to NAMES when they have another event.

NAMES is over. There won't be another one.

That is a bummer.
I had heard they would have a show in 2024, but apparently that has changed?

There are plenty of good venues still available out there.
I wish some of the larger shows were closer to my house.
Those 12 hour (+) drives one-way are tough.
Some shows are a lot further than that from me.

The Black Hills show was GREAT! The largest exhibitor turnout in many years. I was really please with the amount of people that drove so far to come to the show. It was good to see some old friends and faces. Looks like this show is turning out to be the big show of the west. Looking forward to 2024 already....

Thanks for those short videos. Looks very interesting to be there.

I must admit some frustration in hearing the Zanesville show happened. There were no notices saying it's coming, up whose going. A search online got me last year's poster, nothing related to this year. I thought it went away like NAMES.

Sorry art. I posted 2 weeks before asking who is going. The car and airplane part of the show were well exhibited. Just the models were pretty light.

NAMES is over. There won't be another one.

Is that confirmed now? It would be a shame, if true.

 

[stevehuckss396]

I have it on good athority. Even people who sit on the board have very little hope that there will be another show.

 

[GreenTwin]

NAMES was a heck of a show.

Lets hope someone gets out the defibbers and shocks some life back into things.

That's really too bad. I looked forward to attending the show for many years.
