Come see the picture from our latest gathering in Northeast Ohio:

The old classic sets are Adrian's

The cool bug is Gino's

The idea for the arch was Gino's, and the large arch was built by Gino and
Adrian.

The smaller arch was built by Eric.

The modified Silver Champion, the lamp posts and the Tie Fighters belong to
Richard Schamus, who stopped by while traveling through Ohio.

At a loss for things to build, Gino called his wife for a suggestion.  The
answer was. "Ferris Wheel", which we then set ourselves to building.

Major work on the wheel was done by Gino, Adrian and Richard.  My one grand
idea of the day was using the 1x1 rounds as the carnival lighting.  Eric set
about making the control booth, a concession stand, and the bathrooms.

The blue wall sections and corner tower are a part of an ongoing project I
am working on.
