I was pretty busy running the convention so I wasn’t able to visit any layouts except for the pre-convention tour on Saturday and a couple of layouts on our encore day on Sunday, July10. The vendor hall was open Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Of course, Thursday was the biggest selling day as the hall was packed with Convention Attendees buying up everything in sight! Most of the attached pictures shown here were taken on Friday when the crowds were a little lighter or before I opened the doors to everyone else… Saturday was, by all accounts, the largest Public Day Turnout at an NGRC that anyone could remember! The whole 43,000 square foot hall was packed with families having a wonderful time visiting all of the display layouts and talking with (and buying from) vendors. It was great to see both Marc Horovitz and Ron Gibson with huge smiles on their faces! Anyway… Here are some photos.

BAGRS Live Steamers had a really nice display of some of their scratch built equipment.
It was nice to see Grandt Line Products with a display showing their windows and doors.
The Del Oro Pacific Group had an outstanding display.
I had a lot of fun being chairman for the 2016 NGRC. It looked like everyone who attended had a wonderful time!
