Off to I-Hobby in Cleveland!

when is the show at the IX-Center, and is it open to the public or is it a trade show for dealers,, I live close.

I attended RCHTA and/or iHobby for years until about 2006. I was going this year but then many manufactures (not rail hobby companies) told me they were not going this year. Some of these are going to have new product announcements online today or sometime this week.  I miss not going but the show has lost some of its importance in recent years. How else would I gotten to meet Cliff Grandt, Irv Athrean and Neil Young!!!  Are you going to give us highlights here???

when is the show at the IX-Center, and is it open to the public or is it a trade show for dealers,, I live close.

$12 admission seems a bit high to me, plus $6-8 parking at IX Center.

Will be there.....taking the Scout troop with us to "try" to get them more involved with hands on hobby related items instead of video games....

I enjoyed going to the Hobby Expo when it was in Rosemont IL.It was a short drive.I will miss the show,Cleveland is way too far away for me.
