The Jerseyfest 2012 all day seminars and “hands on” painting class took place on August 3rd and was an amazing experience for all involved!  It was also a big party for many hobbyists and vendors.  Below are a few photos from the event.  Next year will be even better !!

Thanks to all of you who attended Jerseyfest 2012 and helped make it a great success!  The amount of people that showed up and the amount of buying exceeded our expectations.  We were thrilled to hear that many vendors did great.  And it was great to see so many attendees smiling all day long going back and forth to their cars with boxes of kits and collectibles. We received so much positive feedback from attendees.  One of the main reasons for the show’s success was the high quality vendors, artists and products at the show – we had many of the very best.  And as you can see from our 2013 poster below, we are already tentatively getting more awesome vendors and artists for next year – much more to be added.

The 2013 show will be even bigger and better!  It’s being held at the Crowne Plaza Fairfield Hotel in Fairfield, New Jersey from September 13th to the 15th.  Stay tuned for much more info !!!

Here is your last chance to pick up the Black Heart Enterprises lize-sized, resin Predator bust kit.  The kit is out of production, but the last 5  will be available at Jerseyfest at the Black Heart vendor booth this Saturday on a “first come first serve” basis.  Below is a picture of one painted by the amazing Joe Dunaway:

Here are a few reminders about Jerseyfest 2012, which is this weekend!:   The vendor show is only on Saturday, August 4th.  The Friday before will consist of an all day painting class that required registration beforehand (no showing up and paying at the door).  The Friday event is now at full capacity and closed. 

The doors open for the Saturday vendor show at 11:00AM, which goes to 8:00PM, followed by a hobby panel discussion to close out Jerseyfest 2012.

Anyone submitting kits for the contest or the exhibit for display can begin to do so at 10:00AM on Saturday.  The Jerseyfest exhibits and contest entries will be displayed in a beautiful Art Gallery Room. 

We have a lot of space and numerous rooms, all of which are fully air conditioned.  There will be food concession stands with hot food, snacks and drinks.   We have numerous lounge areas and tables for eating. 

We have over 75 vendor tables filled with top dealers and artists.  Hope to see you there!

“Three Kings Resin” will have gorgeous resin figure kits and busts at Jerseyfest from Aliens, Predators, Clash of the Titans and more !  Their kits are beautifully sculpted and casted and priced to sell.  Come get some !! (Kits Shown Painted by Joe Dunaway)
