Today, after a couple months of
painstaking planning (as can be attested by the number of posts
recently), we debuted at the Trains 2000 (Burnaby, BC Canada) event,
with a 16' by 6' layout • <snip>
We also came away with an award:
Trains 2000, People's Choice, Best Layout.

Wow, what a surprise! <grin> A LEGO layout takes people's choice.
Whodathunkit? Congratuations. Well done.

That said, this seems to be the *usual* outcome. People LOVE our hobby. Next
time, make sure they're paying you an appearance fee. You did your one
freebie. :-)

Well, we had a great time and lots of people LOVED the layout. Most of the
time there were adults and kids packed 2 and 3 deep all the way round our
three sides which were viewable, and we did a lot of showing and telling of
the Lego train sets available, gave out 300 club flyers and around 50 Lego
catalogs (could have been more, but we ran out) and we learned a lot.

Way to go, nice job promoting the hobby!
