Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: hobby cnc show!

Cabin Fever would be great for a CNC show also. It is schedules around
the right time of the year and as you mentioned has great facilities.
Even if the CNC folks had to rent an associated building at the fair
grounds I think it would be an excellent accomplishment. Cabin Fever
is a great show with a huge numbert of people that would be interested
already attending along with that I'm sure the CNC folks would love to
see some of the works at Cabin Fever.

As it is now I'm not sure if I can make it to NAMES or Roland's CNC
show. In any event having a CNC show associated with a larger related
happening seems like a win for attracting people. After all I for one
won't spend every hour of vacation time on this activity. At least I
hope that I don't.
