Hello All! While everyone is getting ready for Philly and I will see you all out there, I am currently accepting Exhibitor and Artist applications for the June 5th Show in Carol Stream, IL.
Announcing our first artist for June,
Connie Persampieri! Come, meet, visit with this most talented artist. Connie will have various cool items as well as prints for sale.
This show, similar to last March, will be run in conjunction with Toy Con's Action Figure Show.
One Admission price gets you into BOTH shows.
Also, announcing, we will once again be hosting a new toy, card set or unopened nonsport trading card box drive. All donations will benefit the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation.
The Treasure Chest of Art will also be available for purchase at this show. The first release is almost sold out! Thank you! We will be making the second release with all new artwork, and many new artists!
Please remember, this project benefits the Foundation as well, with 100% of the NET PROFITS, less expense donated to them.
For those of you who may not be familiar with the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation, it is a charity which the CECE has hosted for 7 years, now. We raised almost $ 30,000, hundreds of toys, card sets, boxes, and we will continue to help out by offering different types of fundraisers in the future, keep an eye peeled for announcements!
Through toys and smiles, they continue to help children and teens with cancer. Their website is www.treasurechest.org.
You can also learn more about the Treasure Chest of Art project on our website, www.chicagolandexpo.com.
There will be a special announcement in June as well- be there to hear about the future shows of the CECE!
We have lots of exciting plans in store. We look forward to your continued support as always.
Take care, see you all in Philly.
Paul

Now I'm paranoid. Did I fall into the "most" category?

Hello All! See you soon 2 short weeks!
Paul

Hope to be able to stop by, but I have family in town so it's doubtful. . .

Well, almost time for us to get together once again!
Tables are almost sold out! Make sure not to miss our special announcement this weekend!
Thanks and see you all then!
Paul

I'm hoping to pop in to say hi, but we'll see how things go. Will be in Vegas next week and have concert tickets for Saturday.

Less than a week until the show? Oh My!

I'll be there in my normal spot. I'll have my P5 promo available. Email if there is anything special you'd like to make sure I bring.

So much to do before I leave on Saturday...

Ed

I'm planning on coming.
I will have a few trade items, if anyone is interested. Autos and costumes, Cereal Killers extras, and a couple of inserts from Sherlock Holmes. Also some recent Star Wars galaxy, Trek and Bond inserts. Hope to trade these one for one to pick up needs.

Ed, never got my Bond Mission Logs 66 card, so if you have one, please bring it. Also, I'll get a box of Mission Logs from you if you have any left.

I missed the last show, so I'm really looking forward to this one, hope to see many of you there.

Don,

Glad you'll be able to make the show! I'll put a card #66 aside for you. I should have plenty of boxes of Mission Logs as well.

5 Days and counting...

Paul,

Quit teasing us! Weekend is over, what's the special announcement?

Ed

I meant This weekend ( of the show) at the show.
Ah- more anticipation!
See you all at the show to hear first hand.....

Hello All! Just a reminder, this will be the last show we will be selling our Bargain Annual pass at, even though July was canceled,(details on website and at show), the pass would still be valid at the June 8th and the larger Sept 17th Expo, and you get in as an Early Bird!
Still a $ 16.00 value for only $ 10.00, plus you get to choose an uncut promo card sheet from a past Expo- FREE! Uncut sheets will also be for sale, limited to available quantities and years on hand at the show. Note: these uncut sheets are much smaller than the industry standard sheet and are suitable for economic framing!
What a deal! Thanks and see you all soon!
Paul
