(Note - I had hoped to have pictures for this post, but they are delayed and will be posted later.)

I would like to thank all of the Exhibit participants of the 2017 Convention for their contributions towards the Club's stated mission of educational awareness and preservation of gaming history.

As we do each year, Conventions Exhibits exist in two categories, Competitive and Non-Competitive. It is the Competitive category that results in the People's Choice Awards, whereby all attendees to the Convention are asked to view the Competitive Exhibits and cast a vote for their favorite. Votes are tabulated by the Assistant Exhibits Chairman, Casey Focazio-Follis, and at noon, on Convention-Day Saturday, the People's Choice Awards are announced on the bourse floor.

Unlike in previous years, this year's People's Choice Awards were given out to 3 Places, instead of 2. So, without further ado, the winners of the 2017 People's Choice Awards, are:

1st Place Steve Palumbo, "Atomic Nevada"

2nd Place Jerry Birl, "My 25 Year Odyssey as a Chip Collector - 1992 to 2017"

3rd Place Paul Liscio, "Rome Comes to Vegas"

The other competitors were, Jerry Vergatos, Thomas Hartel and Scott Hartman.

A special thanks to Belinda Hixon for assembling 3 posters of past Convention photographs that were placed around the bourse floor, as a Non-Competitive Exhibit.
