If you have that sporting facility, organizing experience and promotional ability, I think you could have a good show. I would make sure you give your self more than enough time to organize, get word around and gather. Perhaps have it next year. Just a thought.

I live in Seattle and the annual show is organized by a Net54 collector and it's held in an elementary school-- and it's a top notch show, with good material and attendance. Interestingly, the elementary building is a great facility for a show, though the drinking fountains are really short.

As was mentioned, I would talk to someone at SGC, as they'll know names of dealers and might participate themselves. If you can get SGC to attend, that would be great.

As I said, giving yourself enough time to organize and get the word out is a good idea. You shouldn't schedule the show for this Sunday, for example.

Good luck.
