[moonlightdrive21]

Hey guys:

The dates for the 2015 "JerseyFest Model Kit & Statue Fair" are August 28th to the 30th, which will once again be at the Marriott Hanover Hotel in Whippany, New Jersey.

The big show offers an amazing selection of rare, vintage and new resin, vinyl and plastic model kits, hobby supplies, statues, replica props, and fine art for sale and display! Collectors and hobbyists from all over the USA and even abroad attend.

JerseyFest features terrific classes, demos and presentations on painting, building and sculpting models and statues from many of the most talented artists in the hobby and film effects studios. The show is a celebration of movies, television, and comic books, with the focus on monsters, science fiction and fantasy. It’s all happening at an excellent hotel in a terrific area of the country that’s not far from New York City and Newark Airport, New Jersey.

As with prior years, Friday is the date for "JerseyFest Academy", which will consist of a series of all day hobby classes (Jerseyfest Academy Hobby Classes & Workshops » JerseyFestFair). The vendor show will be on Saturday and Sunday. The big model contest occurs during the vendor show and is an incredible sight for anyone into statues, comics, monsters, Sci-Fi, etc.

How many folks typically attend? I should try to go to finally meet some of the folks I've been talking to via PMs and email for years. Will depend on my schedule I suppose.

I'm looking forward to another great show. I've had a great time the past few years. Lots of kits, great demos, and awesome Friday classes and to boot, meeting all the great sculptors, painters and collectors in the hobby. See you all there. Can't wait!

Curious moonlight since it seems like I am going to be able to go. Do the vendors generally take cards, or cash? I prefer not to run around with lots of cash :<

Some take credit cards, but it depends. There is a cash ATM machine on hotel premises. See you soon !
