Some draws for Lake Geneva -
A five year and counting Old School game convention in LG - http://www.garycon.com/
A 30+ year game store, possibly one of the top five in the country about an hour south of LG and fifteen minutes from O'Hare - http://www.games-plus.com/
There are many other local gaming convention in Rockford, Milwaukee, Madison, and other places in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois that happen almost every week if someone had the time and money to go to them all. And it's not all that far from the MN twin cities.
Gencon happens every year and will for quite some time and I don't doubt there are some other gamedays within driving distance but probably not every weekend year round. Plus, even if you stay open 24 hours for five or six days around Gencon, how many people can you really accommodate?
Setting up in someplace like NYC might mean more traffic of even non-gamers but I wonder if the overhead would negate that benefit.
Just some thoughts and keep up the good work for the museum, Huntons!
