    2010-NoreastCon-0001-ExhibitArea-

    NorEastCon 2010 was held this past weekend (April 30th and May 1st) at the American Airpower Museum in Farmingdale, NY.  This regional IPMS show had a nice attendance and was well organized by the IPMS Long Island Chapter. 

    This event was a two day event for Friday and Saturday.  I was only able to attend on Saturday and regretfully got caught in traffic that had a normal 75 minute trip take over 3 hours.  Even with the travelling aggravation I was glad I attended as the models and figures on display were outstanding as you can see in the Photo Gallery (http://www.mataka.org/photos/index.php#photos).

    While I didn’t get the opportunity to visit the dealer area, the show was supported by a large number of local dealers and manufacturers who were local to the show.

    In speaking with a number of modelers and visitors, they all said that they really enjoyed the show and the venue at which it was held.  After looking at the exhibits or browsing the dealer area, you could go outside and see biplanes, P51’s, a C-47, and a variety of other aircraft.  Some of these were even flying as the day went on as the American Airpower Museum is adjacent to Republic Airport.

    All in all it was a beautiful day weather wise and even a more fun day for the modelers and visitors.  They are considering holding another event (to be announced) at the same venue next year which would be nice to see.  NorEastCon 2010 is over but there will be many memories as new friends were made and old friends got reacquainted  during this lovely and well organized weekend.
