Like I said earlier, this is one more thing that adds value to having an LTC
(or LUG) display at a promoter's show. So now not only are the LEGO displays
a natural crowd drawer, but the displays come along with some great free (to
the promoters) advertising. This puts the LEGO displays even in higher
demand for the shows.
Also as far as the show I'm doing next week it is my local NMRA division's
show(Piedmond Divison), so I was really glad that I was able to not only
display my layout at the show but at the same time help promote the show.
This show is the big fund raiser for the Piedmond Divisonand covers most of
the cost though out the year. So I was happy to help out my local NMRA
division (yes I'm a member).
