I know 578 was there running the booth today. I think you'd have to get in contact with Ana Martinez to get involved. We have pictures of us and the Iron Maidens running the booth yesterday here.

I wish I still had some say in 174 and have them get more involved with these activities. Its a 15 minute drive to the fair, haha.

For many teams the off season is really off season.
At least they had a display there.

I can try and ask the student on our team who set us up with it this year. We had tried last year to attend the NYS fair and were unsuccessful, but we had a contact that we used this year to find out about the booth. That being said from what I heard the booth was very successful and our members had fun!

EDIT:
It turns out we found out because we had Ana's email from an email she sent about the 07 booth. anayz at aol dot com. We emailed her in June and got the info we needed near the end of June. You should be able to contact her with that.

I believe I got an e-mail in May from Ana about it. We had a teleconference. If you signed on to the teleconference you continued getting e-mails.

How do we get on Ana's distribution list then?

I was there Monday, September 1st and I saw T-RX(145) there! Great showing by all teams!

Yep 145 was there (I was not), I think they also saw Ted Nugent (can't spell) or that was talk about something they wanted to do. I dont remember what day he was going to be there.
