2019 Show of Shows

Last Minute Updates

Dear OVMS Members: Below are a few last minute details that you may find useful for the upcoming Show of Shows.

Scooter Rentals – The latest information.

            Several members have reported that they are having trouble renting scooter  We have checked into this and discovered that Gould’s Discount Medical – our source for scooters - is under new ownership.  They are no longer renting scooters and delivering them to the fairgrounds.  Now they will have a booth in the lobby of Hall C.  If you need a scooter you can now call 1-502-491-2000.  They will reserve one for you that you can pick-up at their booth.

Fake Item Reports

As mentioned in the last newsletter, the OVMS is trying a new way of dealing with the problem of fakes in our hobby and those who habitually deal in them.  This is a complicated subject. However, the problem must be addressed.  The staff of the OVMS cannot be expected to jury the entire show, examining every badge and dagger. We hope to use the collective knowledge of our membership to aid us in reducing the volume of this problem. This will encourage the collecting community to be a part of cleaning up our hobby without turning the whole issue into the Spanish Inquisition. We now have Fake Item Report forms available at the registration desk in the lobby. The goal is to collect the information accumulated on these forms over a period of time to identify the fakes and those who deal in them. Help us clean-up our hobby.  If you see someone who appears to be purposely dealing in fakes, report it.  Fill-out the form and return it to the registration desk.  The information will be reviewed by the OVMS board.  When multipole reports from several members about the same dealer are collected, the OVMS will investigate the matter.  Multiple reports are necessary to prevent the system from being used as a tool for private vendettas.
