Here are what some of the people had said about the show...

Quotes from the Great Lakes Chip Show…

What a wonderful time and a great location! Thanks to Albert and all who had a hand in making this a great weekend.

I would like to thank the members of the Great Lake Club for putting on such an outstanding show. I belong to the Atlantic City chapter and have missed many meeting because of my work travel schedule. This time my travels took me to Rock Island, IL so I was able to attend the show. For me I added more items to my collection than when I attended the June convention. I added over 100 room keys, several chips & tokens and several misc. items. That just shows you a show does not have to be large to find items.

My wife, son and I had a great time. Met some folks from the chipboard and saw a few others I had met at the Cincinnati show earlier this year.

GREAT, WE all enjoyed the day, meeting old and new collectors, great hobby, great friends, and an all around good time. Hope those who could not make this show will be able to join us next time. Keep chipping

We had a great time. I will do it again if I have enough to sell. I will sure be there. October I am sure will work for us. Convenient location. It was nice to be able to put faces to names. I was surprised at how far some of the people drove. Thank you very much for making all of it possible.

Just wanted to say again how much I enjoyed the show. You did a great job and everything went off well, you put allot of work into it. I look forward to going again next year.

IMO, the key was........from planning to execution, everything was done low key. There was no pressure, and the emphasis was fun and friendship. It worked!!! Well Done Albert!! Best regards, Chuck T.

Nancy and I enjoyed ourselves immensely, Albert and his wife worked very hard to make that happen, and we especially appreciated all the hard work...was very glad to see so many people that I have met and worked out trades both on computer and in person. Lets do it again... Thanks Albert. Nancy & Reggie (TN)
