Hey guys:
The entire Jerseyfest team was blown away by how big and successful the show was this year! We are grateful for all the attendees, vendors, artists, support team, etc. who participated. We just posted a gallery that contains hundreds of pictures from the show. It shows the incredible amount, quality and diversity of models and art that were for sale and on display, plus how much fun it was for everyone for 3 days. Click here to view the gallery: 2013 Jerseyfest Model & Kit Statue Fair » JerseyFestFair Lots of pictures of Sci-Fi vehicles and mecha models are included in the mix, so keep going through the gallery.
We applaud the hobby community because so many people believed in and showed up for this convention from all over the country and even from outside of the USA.
Also would like to again say thank you to Steve Wang, Lorne Peterson, Jeff Yagher and all of our other guest presenters for making the show extra special.
In summary...
- Over 65 people attended Jerseyfest Academy classes, which occurred the day before the vendor show started. The programming and artists were first rate - thank you guys.
- We had over 112 vendor tables, and sold out.
- Many vendors did great with sales. The various kits, art and products for sale were phenomenal.
- The contest room was jam packed with 32 tables filled with 349 entries - the quality was jaw dropping.
- Every presentation/demo was a home run with great presenters that covered diverse topics, and had great audience turnouts.
- The hallways and bar were packed with partying hobbyists having great conversations and laughs all day and night. Even had great food and drink just like the old basement days
). We were all one big family, but this time there were hundreds of us.
- I was happy to see many folks from the Sci-F and hardware community embrace the show, which I know will keep expanding every year.
Many folks raved about how the presentations from Mike Salzo, Jason Eaton, Paul Bodensisk from ParaGrafix, Kevin Derken and Charles Villacara were fantastic. Thank you guys !!!
But there's always things that could have been better and room for improvement, and we will work even harder for next year's show.
Hope to see many of you at Jerseyfest in September of 2014 for an even bigger and better show. Much more info to come, so stay tuned.
Next stop Chiller and Wonderfest...oh yeah !
Cheers to this great hobby of ours !
Thanks,
Dave
