Wow, just spent 30 minutes reading through all of these posts. :shock:
First, I want to say thank you for all of the kind comments about MHC. It is great to know that our reputation grows more each year.
Second, MHC is not going to move to Chicago in March :lol: One of the reasons for the success of MHC is the fact that we all live here in Columbus and are able to have a little more control over all aspects of the show.
Now for my thoughts on the move. I think it is great for Transworld even with the dates/days that they chose. It is a well known fact that they have wanted to move back to a more traditional show. That being more high-end buyers and less enthusiasts/lookers. Larry is exaclty right, if you are a larger haunt, you will still go. To this end, Transworld is achieving their goals with this move.
I cannot speak for for the other shows but MHC will continue to welcome all haunters. We do not look to compete with Transworld. We try to compliment their show with something different and with a different target audience. This is why our relationship with Transworld has always been great. We both understand what we are trying to achieve and, where we can, we try to help each other accomplish that.
I wish Gregg and the rest of the staff good luck on the move. I hope to see everyone next month and Vegas in '08!!
