Thank you for making every effort to carry on with the show this year, and for keeping the safety of everyone at the forefront. You made the right decision.

Better to be safe than have someone get sick. See you next year!

Dave, though we are sad to receive the news of cancellation, we do fully understand the difficulties. We will miss, and do miss our WonderFest family....the dealers, the regular attendees, and "especially" the staff, ..many of which are like a second family to us if only for a few short days every year. Heck, we'll even sort of miss your horrible...ly fantastic singing at wrap-up time. 😀 Thanks for all of your efforts. Much appreciated. Here's to a Fantastic reunion in 2021!

Dave, this was the only thing you could’ve done, realistically. A good, sound decision.

If it makes you feel any better, no show is still better than that year at the Kentucky Expo Center... 🥵

Thank you for the announcement, Dave. I would have been unable to make it in October, though I am sorry that others won't be able to enjoy what has become the highlight of my year.

best thing to do right now dave but i see 2021 as best and biggest show you will do .

I'll wait. When it's safe, I will always attend this very well-run show. 👍 Meeting celebrities without hugs or close contact photos just wouldn't be the same...

You guys are the best! Thanks for trying to keep the show going by changing the dates. Completely understand why the show had to be cancelled. 🙂

Thanks for the update. As I was planning to come from Canada I was watching the situation carefully and have doubted that the boarder would be open in time for the show.

David Hodge, thanks for getting the announcement out, I know this was difficult for sure!! We'll make 2021 the best Wonderfest ever!!! As soon as the room block is open, we'll book rooms!!

Thank you. Will be waiting for June with excitement. Miss all the good people at wonderfest. See you in June.

Here’s to better days- the ones behind us and the ones ahead.

Oh, dang. I understand, tho had planned to make it in October. Might still just come up for the weekend and see friends in the area, anyhow.

Thank you for all you and the WF staff do! I appreciate the efforts you guys made in trying to keep it alive this year. Onward to 2021!

A great shame Dave, but a good move. The safety and enjoyment of the show will continue again. Here's to 2021. Thank you.

Sorry sign of the times. Totally understand. We'll do our best to see you in June!

A completely understandable and reasonable decision. I will miss the show this year, but that will cause me to appreciate the next Wonderfest even more.

Dave Thank you for all you do and your Team! I Am looking forward for next I will need to re-reserve a table please let me know when thanks Steven Carricato spacecraft Creation Models

Thanks for the update! Bummer, but understandable - looking forward to the triumphant and safe return in 2021. Let's support those vendors, in the meantime - WonderFest is fun for us, but it's a business, too, and if we support our vendors now, the greater the chances they'll be with us next year! Maybe this year, the WonderFest site should have links to the vendors, along with articles and podcasts from guests and the industry - not everybody knows where all their favorite vendors' sites are.

Thank you Dave for all the persistence and hard work you have put in this year and every year. We were definitely going to attend as we have for every show since #2. While I understand the decision it saddens me that we are still held in this endless limbo between concern and getting on with life. Hopefully life returns to normal in the following year but whenever the next show is we'll be there...

Best call, Dave. I know it was a tough one but we totally understand. Looking forward to the next show!

A wise decision!! Model on my friend! Model on until next year! God bless!

Was really hoping it was going to happen but realistically, it’s the right call to make. We’ll be there next year!

Dave, I hope you have room for 2 years worth of entries in the contest room! Thanks for making the hard call and I know next year will be doubly special 🖖

Better safe than sorry. Hopefully October will work out.

My phone reminded me that tomorrow I should be in Louisville. Bummed that I had to tell it no.

See you in October, Dave

Hope to see everyone in October, I would be leaving tomorrow with stops at the Armstrong Museum and the Museum of the Air Force in Ohio. Stay strong, stay healthy, stay alive!!

Make WF a full week next year to make up for this year.

Will miss all the fun b hopefully October will happen with a bang!!

Maybe in the Fall. I really appreciate the sensitivity and thoughtfulness that the W'Fest organizers have shown as the pandemic rages. Stay safe and thoughtful out there!

Onward and upward, Dave. We'll support WF no matter when it happens. But I'm just gonna go ahead and say see you in October.

I look forward to this trip every year, I cannot wait for the entire Wonderfest crew to be back together again. Thanks for the update Dave.

Well Dave all I can say is I’m there with you buddy no matter what!! It’ll just give me more time to get some Playset/ Dios together! Stay safe my friend and all the Wonderfesters out there! Oh what a good time we’ll have when we do get together!!⚓️🇺🇸

I am so very sad but hopeful. But yeah SUPER sad.

Stay safe Dave! See you in October!

Drove by today and saw the venue from work... Missing it for this weekend

In honor of where I'd be this weekend, I'm spending this time actually building and painting models! I haven't done this in many years, but having a blast with the old Aurora kits. I don't have an option to post a photo here, but you can go to my page and see how I expressed my love for WF!

I literally plan my year around Wonderfest. I keep thinking today that I'd be with my friend Steve somewhere in Illinois right now (probably at a Steak n Shake) on the drive to Louisville. I desperately hope I can make it in October. I'll definitely be parked in front of my computer all weekend for want a fest. And have my zoom meeting background all picked out.

Looking forward to whatever comes our way Dave.

David Hodge, you have our full support!! Thanks for all you do!!

I can’t wait! See you in October!

I always, half seriously, half jokingly, that I plan my year around Wonderfest. But I really find myself missing the rush of getting ready for the show, and experiencing the "Wondefest Blur." So, there is a bit of a gap right now. But I know it is going to make the October event memorable and 2021 even better. I'm going to do my damndest to slow down a little, chat a little more, and be grateful when we do come together. Thanks to Dave and to all the Wonderfest staff for bringing the hobbiests of the world together. We are a big family. See you soon.

Is October off?? I hadn’t heard?? I rebooked the Hotel already

Alex says he will be there even if he has to wear my old chem gear. 😉

It’s just weird being this time of year and no WF

Will Eric Chu be debuting a new sculpt in October? The world wants to know!

So it’s about 8 weeks out! Are we still on track?

What will happen if the boarders are still closed. ?

Yep - almost happened to me when I was making reservations for Thursday night. The link I clicked took me to a 3rd party site that wanted $50 more per night! Be Careful Out There!

Wow

Yes we got the email I ignored it . As it didnt look right.

I got the same email this morning on my JPG Productions email. Seems like they got my email through the vendor page. I spammed it right away.

How did they get our email addresses?

Those Klingon Bastards!
