The Mart will take place in the Main Gym. There is plenty of room for vendors and generous aisles for the buyers. A popular feature during the mart is the "Silent Auction ". Several are held right in the Mart room. Members may consign Horological items and buyers can bid on paper until the end of the auction session when the highest bidder wins the item. This is a low cost way to sell and a good place to find a bargain.

Food during the event will be available indoors in the College at the snack bar in the Gym Lobby and at the College cafeteria. The food service people always do a fine job. If you choose to wander out into the community, there are several restaurants in the area adjacent to the College, as well as the over 100 restaurants in the greater Mentor area.

Lodging is available at the Red Roof Inn and Days Inn about a quarter-mile from the college. A Best Western, Motel 6 and Travelodge are available with-in about 4 miles. Mention NAWCC rates.

We plan to open the Regional Thursday with a "Tailgate event", patterned after the one held at the Southern Ohio Regional of Fort Mitchell, KY. This is a less formal event that allows vendors to sell from their cars in a special parking area that is restricted to 65 registrations.

Our Regional Exhibit will be "The Clocks of Northeastern Ohio". Our special guest lecturer this year will be Chris Klingemier.

There will be a Breakfast Banquet at College Saturday morning before the Mart opens again.

Think of our Regional as an OPPORTUNITY.

An OPPORTUNITY to meet like-minded people who are willing to share what they know. Our people are our most valuable resource.

An OPPORTUNITY to add pieces to your collection at hobbyist prices, not world record prices.

An OPPORTUNITY to sell things you no longer want or need in the Tailgate event, the Mart or the Silent Auction, all at modest cost. Be able to take advantage of a large gathering of interested buyers in a place that is not far away.

There is a great deal to see and do nearby to the Regional. Why not plan a "mini vacation" and bring the family. Come join us at the North Coast Regional and see why North East Ohio has long been known as "The Best Location in the Nation".

The members of the Regional Committee will be wearing blue or red "Aprons of Service." We are there to help you in any way we are able. While each of us may not have all the answers, we know who to ask. It is our goal to make this the best North Coast Regional ever. HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US!
