4 weeks to AMPSEAST
Hope everyone has their reservations and plans for the best of the best shows on the east coast.
(OK so I'm a little partial, as I always have a great time at this show)
Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

AMPSCT, the Connecticut chapter of the Armor Modeling and Preservation Society, is proud to announce AMPSEAST 2007. The show will be held Saturday, September 29th, 2007, at the Sheraton Danbury Hotel, 18 Old Ridgebury Rd., Danbury CT. Registration opens at 8:30 AM.
This year's theme is "The Six Day War: Defining The Middle East".
As anyone who attended last year's show will attest, the Sheraton Danbury is a first class venue with outstanding amenities. It is also convieniently located one exit from the Danbury Fair Mall and the Military Museum of Southern New England.
AMPSEAST is the largest armor model show in the Northeast, featuring 80 vendor tables, 4 seminars, and our famous monster raffle along with the AMPS Regional Model show and competition.

Seminar Schedule:
Seminar 1: Neil Stokes - The KV series
Seminar 2: Doc Wiseman - Resin casting start to finish
Seminar 3: Chic Mohr - Complete scratchbuilding techniques
Seminar 4: Thomas Jentz - PzKpfw 38t series

For attendees and vendors staying at the Sheraton we are pleased to offer a special show room rate of $89.00 per night. To receive the special rate, please call 1-800-325-3535 and identify yourself as being with AMPSEAST. You must make your reservation by September 7th!
We have also worked in conjunction with MMSNE and the show weekend will be an "Open Turret Weekend" at the museum featuring re-enactors and allowing you to climb inside all the vehicles at the museum.
Saturday at AMPSEAST and Sunday at MMSNE would make for the ultimate treadhead's dream weekend!
There is also lots to do and plenty of restaurants at the Danbury Fair Mall so it's perfect to bring the family!
Don't forget - AMPS 2008 is in Indiana, so AMPSEAST 2007 and AMPSEAST 2008 will be the ONLY AMPS shows on the east coast until 2009! Don't miss out!
We hope to see you all at AMPSEAST 2007! Mark your calendars now!

I think I will try to attend this show. It's been one of my favorites for some time. Since I've been away from the hobby for almost a year now, I hope this trip will inspire me again.

BTW, the main Events Calendar has this show listed as being in Stratford not Danbury.

I will be at the show and helping out with the judging. The show went very well last year and is sure to be just as good.

Italian or Steaks this year John?

I'm actually going to try to make an honest effort to make the judges meeting this year. TRY is the key word!

Rumor confirmed: One of the raffle prizes is a $50 shopping spree good for this show only. So if you weren't thinking of going because you don't have enough cash, this might be your answer.
