If any Edmonton LEGO enthusiasts are interested in showing off their
LEGO hobby please contact Peter Kiddell at pkiddell@cybersurf.net

He is the show organizer for both Edmonton & Calgary.  He would like
to see you setup a booth at an upcoming show.

Is this a one-time thing, or a recuring (annual, monthly, whatever) show?
Is there a table fee?  Is it a "This is my hobby, isn't it neat" show, or a
"These are the things we sell to hobbyists at extortional prices" show?
Is the target audience adults, or kids?
(and yes, I'll e-mail pkiddell with all these sorts of annoying questions,
too. :)

I can only answer questions about my Calgary show experiences.

These are yearly Woodworking & Hobby shows.  The Calgary show had
attendance of 10,000 last year (12,000 expected this year).  It has
been heavily advertised.

Held in the Big 4 building on th Stampede grounds. Woodworking stuff
upstairs, all the hobbies downstairs.

We got a free booth as we are not selling anything.  Just promoting
our LEGO hobby, and in my case, RC Aircraft as well.

Last year there was an electric RC car course (quite large), many
garden railroad setups with plants, many model railroads, plastic
model builders, some arts & crafts, hobby shops selling stuff, etc...

A good show...  I'm looking forward to it.

(...) Yup, one or two. :) I haven't heard too much out of Calgary, but we've got between 3 & 6 active AFOLs in Edmonton (and St. Paul) that stay in semi-active contact, and a few more that come out of the woodwork every once in a while.
