What happened to Niagara Falls?  Not that it matters to me one way or another.

I don't think it was confirmed that it would be in Niagara Falls 100%?...
It's on the radar for next year. Hamilton is only 30 minutes from The Falls. Regardless where the CanJoeCon was going to be this year, it's always worth the drive!

well i was hoping for the falls but a 30 min drive more isnt that bad.

Is this hall going to be big enough for all the dealers and is there lodging close by?

The hall is much bigger than last year's, and the convention center is connected via a walkway to the Sheraton Hotel.

This is great news! I've been to the convention center before in the past. It should be a good spot.

Within the next week, I'll have a complete "CanJoeCon Info Package" ready for everyone to check out. It will contain all the hotels nearby, recommended restaurants, and some other items of interest for the area. I want people to come and not have to worry about where they're going to stay, or where they're going to eat. I want the Canadian GI Joe Convention to be a unique experience for everyone. As for the dealer space, there is PLENTY to go around. About 3 times the amount of last year.... which is good... because I had to turn away vendors from the 2008 Event.

Has anyone here brought their little ones with them to the convention?  I'm wondering how young is too young.  Any opinions?

[pdaat]

I brought two 11 year old boys last year and they were fine.

[BHMike]

There were kids as young as 4 and 5 at it in previous years. It's a "family friendly" place. So you're good to bring kids of all ages - From 1 year old, to 100!

i brought my son last year and he was 13 months old. He will be coming again this year. But now he has his own gijoe shirt.
