Notable quotes

“We claim, and I don't think anybody can beat us on it, that we were the first to go out there and say, we're going to pull the trigger and have a show.”
Keith Campanelli
“Attendees can expect a normal pre-COVID show. There's no social distancing. There's no requirements for masks or anything along that line.”
Keith Campanelli
“Every beer, their full pint pours are five bucks.”
Keith Campanelli
“You can take their beer outside and they can sit out there for the ones that want to just sit and enjoy the sunshine or the fear smoker. You can just bring the beer in and walk around anywhere.”
Keith Campanelli
“It's a 030 plastic with the artwork of the play field... you sand it, clear the inserts, and you lay this down. It's never touching the artwork and it has a scratch resistant coating on the top.”
Keith Campanelli
“I'm hoping that things will start lightening up, we still have another six weeks but you just don't know.”
Keith Campanelli
“I originally thought this was more of a just a local show. But I call it local. You know, we're hitting Buffalo, we're hitting Pittsburgh, we're hitting Cleveland and Cincinnati and Columbus.”
