MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS!

ORANGESTONE PROMOTIONS, INC. ANNOUNCES INTENTION TO SELL STEEL CITY CON! Owner and Promoter, Dominic Alessandria has announced that he intends to offer PennsylvaniaÕs Largest Toy & Pop Culture Convention up for sale. This coming after a record breaking show early this December. Mr. Alessandria has included the following statement: Ò In these past 5 years IÕm pleased to have increased the attendance of this show nearly 10 times from when I took it over as well as having 13 straight dealer sell out shows. This personal decision to move on has come after much consideration and my interest in another business opportunity. I want everyone to know that we already have major plans in place for the March 2008 Show and are in no rush to sell the convention. My main priority is that the individual(s) who take over the Steel City Con understand the importance of this convention and continues the growth trend that we are so proud to boast about. Anyone interested in this opportunity should contact me directly through the website or phone. We are asking that only serious inquiries be madeÓ. ` Orangestone Promotions, Inc.(814)262-0503

At least the owner has stated that he's in no rush, so he probably won't risk selling to someone who will shut the Con down or do it half-a##ed. It's one of the few places I still get to buy Megos offline.
