It was awesome indeed.
Comments and things:
Mostly, people wanted to buy the following "kits": David's sky train,
David's gondola, all Robin's Harry Potter stuff, and Dean's drive in.
The question most asked, "what kit is (insert one of the above)?" To which
my reply was "not a kit -- built from different sets". A few wanted to know
which sets so they could build it! heh heh.
Most shocking was "yes, it's all Lego -- even most of the electronics".
People loved the automation -- big time!
And then there were those that came back time and time again!
The Lionel guys couldn't believe we weren't Lego reps -- that we did this
just for fun. And a few of the Lionel guys said they were going to dig up
some of their old Lego now!!!
Definitely a great time.

PS: I think an electric fence at the perimeter would be best :-)
