Mike,

Thanks for the earlier phone invite to 2016 N-Scale Weekend - Altoona. If possible please take the time and update the webpage and Word/pdf docs to reflect the new 2016 dates, Altoona location and when available  - hotel info.
I would like to reference that web link as having the most current info when other club members ask me for particulars. 

Thank you in advance,
Paul Ohegyi

Mike, you called David Lindsey, Central Ohio N-trak, about the change in location.  Central Ohio N-trak is planning to attend in 2016, 12x24 n-trak layout.  thanks, Craig Sonnen, secretary

Great news,
 I've missed the shows for as long as i can remember due to work. Altoona has had several new motels open up in the last 3 years, so finding a room shouldn't be a problem. The Jaffa is a little awkward to get to from I-99, but GPS should fix that. There are 2 Hoss's within 6 miles of the site. Once next years schedule is posted I'll know if i can attend.

This is excellent news.  The air conditioning situation this year was rough, and must have been miserable for vendors.  I only stayed for about 2 hours.

I hope the new venue brings more modular groups and vendors.  I guess I better get cracking on the module that I keep talking about doing "one day"...
