FlisKits at the iHobby Expo in Chicago

2006 was the year of trade shows for FlisKits.  This year we banked our efforts to show our product to the largest audience we could muster, mainly the retail public.  We began with the HobbyTown USA convention in Lincoln, NE and finished with the iHobby Expo in Chicago in October.

This was a very busy time for FlisKits.  We just had our anniversary celebration, our convention (NEMROC) and were in the process of announcing 3 new kits.  Roll all that up with a convention and we were very, very busy.

It was a good show though and, unknown to us at the time, the largest turnout of rocketry vendors EVER at the iHobby show.  With SEMROC, Apogee, AeroTech, Quest, Balsa Machining and more, it was like attending a sport rocket launch most anywhere in the country.  Lots of friends and good times.  Spending the evening with Bunny at his house with scores of other rocketry friends was a special treat and to listen to Bill Stine describe his visit to Russia with the Internats team was a joy!

FlisKits was very well received at the show by both retailers and the buying public alike.  This show is incredible and the attached photo album doesn't touch on the excitement (note, we took limited pictures because photography was very limited at the show.  All pictures at the show are from in and around our own booth.
