Not a convention per se, but I'm sure it is of interest to may her just the same. There are frequently discussion threads on using them straight or as conversions. There are also a lot of other mini car/toy brands represented. Last year I purchased a few 1:100 cars from one dealer for my 15mm games. The big (national?) show used to be in Hershey at the Lodge & Convention Center before moving to New York some years ago. This is a slightly smaller show but still large enough to be fun. And it is at the Antique Auto Museum which makes it a really nice day. link |

Woo hoo! The Sweetest Place on Earth is just 13 miles away! May have to take A peek at it.
And moving it out of the convention center probably lowered the ovwrhead substantially. |

Lol sad but true raven…..she understands the passion for lead that I have…..but that would be tough to sell….if I brought one of the kids though. If this is a yearly thing I could plan a trip…..and surprise this venue on the way. Sneaky but might work |

Psst..Twoball… Frau und kinder could hit HersheyPark whilst Daddy can go to AACA for the Matchbox Rally, then meet up with them later. Literally within a few miles of each other. If you look around on the Interwebz, you can find discounts on the tickets to Hersheypark to reduce the impact on the wallet. |

I've driven that far for big anime conventions but not much else. It's maybe a 5 or 6 hour drive for me. |
