I am soliciting interest from those in the are that might want to
participate in a public display on Sautrday, July 3, 004 in Garfield
Hieghts, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland). This will be an "all themes"
display, so any and everything is welcome. It is also a short term display,
with the actual display scheduled from 1:00pm to 5:00pm, with setup starting
as early as necessary but only 2 hours for tear down.
If you are interested in helping out, providing items to display, or just
coming to hang out, please drop me a line. The display is at an annual
festival that generally draws quite large crowds. It is open to the public
and is free of charge. See below for more information.
Thanks,
Troy

Venue: Garfield Heights Homedays 2004

year!)
This event is held outdoors in a park, but the display will be under one of
the main expo tents:

These tents are 80'x60' so there is plenty of space. There will be a stage
(can't use), a dancefloor (can use) and seating provided.
Last year in this time-slot there was an "N" scale train display:

What is planned:
Currently planned is a small train layout and a Castle themed display.
Additional themes will be supported as participants join up and ask for
them.
To this end, I recently purchased some nifty folding tables that are the
appropriate size (30" x 60") for Lego baseplates:

Additional standard 8' banquet tables will be available on-site if needed.
I have built an outer castle wall with towers and gate:

There is enough to encompass two tables. All we need is smething to put
inside the walls! ;)
For the trains, I would like to see atleast 8 tables, but that might be
pushing it given my train supplies and setup contraints. I am currently
working on a large-scale skyscraper for this. Additional help will be
needed to make this work out well.
If there are any questions, feel free to ask them ehre or contact me
directly.
