The Fourth Annual RoboMaxx Event comes to a close. You are welcome to
make any final purchases, check out the exhibits, and be sure take a
picture with one of the Star Wars characters.



The open class event has a $75 gift certificate from Solutions Cubed,
and we may even up the antee. The prizes didn't get put on the site,
so I just wanted to makes sure people know, if they win, in additon to
the tropy's there are cool prizes.
There is still time to be a vendor, just let us know. $40 is a very
good price to be a vendor at a show. Subway is located within the
building of the event.
It's not too long a drive from the Portland area, and remember Ashland
is home of the Shakespere Festival, so if you stay in Ashland there
are many cool things to do.
