Cabin Fever Expo 1998


The second annual Cabin Fever Expo, 1998, was held Saturday, 31 January and Sunday, 1 February 1998.  This time I took a few more pictures and tried to remember something about them.  The hall was filled with exhibitors/vendors and attendance was good.   Here are this year's pictures.
