The flyer says awards at 2:00 but the hall closes at 5:00. We're usually packing things up about 4:30.

Sorry I was unable to respond yesterday, I was in transit from NYC back to MA.

As Al said the crowd is usually out of there around 4:30 or so. I'll be there from 7:00 until 5-5:30 or so for set up and clean up.

Look forward to seeing everyone there Sunday.

Yep I was there. Had a great time too ! Granitecon has always been one of my favorite local IPMS shows. It was good to be back vending it as well

Alot of nice armor models there, just wish I had more time to take a look

When I lived up there, I liked Granitecon as well. Probably because it was one of the closer ones with a hobby shop right there. Also because my daughter (11 at the time) decided to go with me and actually won some awards in the junior categories. They still occupy space in display cabinet.

I just had to keep Dave's son William away from my little girl!

The junior entries keep getting better and better, we ran out of space this year for them too with a record number of them. (We also began the process, again, of trying to find a larger venue, as it was at times quite crowded around the vendors' tables and display areas.)

Rob, the kid is looking me square in the eye now.....
