Crimefighter Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Midwest Gaming Classic site relaunches with 2006 dates and more! Written by Dan Loosen on October 10, 2005 The dates for the 2006 Midwest Gaming Classic have been finalized. The event will be held on June 3rd and 4th at the beautiful Olympia Resort and Conference Center in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. The Olympia is an excellent venue that should excite vendors and attendees alike. Other than visiting the event, there are two pools and an entire service spa in the Resort. Directly behind the resort is the Olde Highlander Golf Club, a gorgeous 18-hole championship course that measures nearly 6500 yard from the gold tees, but also has three other sets of tees for the more inexperienced players. Of course, attendees won%27t want to forget the incredible arcade that the Olympia houses, which has many of the latest and greatest video games and pinball machines for play. The games are rotated on a regular basis, but a great mix of things to play remains constant! This is only the tip of the amazing things that the Olympia offers. Visitors won%27t want to miss their two pools, day spa, great restaurants and more! For more information, visit the Olympia Resort web site at %3Ca href%3D%22http://www.olympiaresort.com/%22%3Ewww.olympiaresort.com%3C/a%3E. Even with the great amenities, the real reason gamers will be converging on the Olympia is due the fourth Midwest Gaming Classic event. The 2006 Midwest Gaming Classic will offer visitors more space than ever before -- over 20,000 square feet are dedicated to the show -- and will have many unique things. If you are only planning on going to one show this year, make sure to mark your calendar for the Midwest Gaming Classic! There will be a special room rate for the Midwest Gaming Classic of only %2492.00 per night. This is a discount of over %2435.00 per room. On top of that, for every night that is reserved at the hotel, the person reserving the room will get one free ticket to the event! This room rate will become available within the next month, and an announcement will be made about it on the Midwest Gaming Classic web site to alert everyone. Today, the Midwest Gaming Classic web site has also reopened with a new look. Up until the event starts on June 3rd, expect there to be constant updates as new information becomes available. We have lots of big announcements to make! Bookmark http://www.midwestgamingclassic.com right now to stay on top of everything or sign up for our mailing list.

MacbthPSW Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Any AtariAgers going to this? I'm pretty sure I'll be driving down and meeting up with a friend or two from WI to go. Is Al going again? It was great to meet him and others last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiecraig Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I think I'll probably head up there this year. I missed the last one, but I went in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I expect to go for at least one day, if not both (my brother's birthday is the 4th...I should try to talk him into coming, he'd probably dig Jagfest, and he's into Dreamcast and 3DO and stuff like that). I kinda wish it was at the Brookfield Sheraton hotel again, I'd be able to take a city bus straight out. But then, it'd be fun to stay both days...I'll need a vacation by then (hell, I could use one now!). Besides, I'm a sucker for swimming pools.

goatdan Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Just as a heads-up, if anyone on here is looking at getting tables, please contact me as soon as possible. We are extremely close to selling out all of our table booths already. If you are interested in purchasing a booth or booths to vend from, please contact me via PM or email me at loosen@goatstore.com, and I'll be happy to make sure space is set aside for you. Other than that, check out the Midwest Gaming Classic site for lots of news, including new sponsors, vendors, speakers and much, much more all the way leading into the event. I'm extremely excited about how the show is falling into place, and I can't wait until one month from today when the show begins! Hopefully, I'll see you all there!
