The dealer halls will be open to the public FRIDAY and SATURDAY. The public can buy either a one day pass for 14 bucks or a two day pass for 20 bucks. This will cover a family of 1-??. First timers will have the option of going to the Silver hall and registering as Guest and get in all the halls for 22 bucks as before. Dealer hall only attendees will be given wrist bands, color will determine if they can go one or both days. As before only badge holders can get into the member halls.
At this point advertising will be in the publications offered in the York area. Also expected will be mentioning of the changes in OGR and CTT magazines in the various columns. Also an ED board officer fluent in Social Media will be posting the opening to the public, on Facebook, Twitter, etc, etc, etc
No idea what the manufacturers will be doing to promote the show at this time.
