As many of you connected to our website and Facebook page know, we have been planning Hobbyfest for quite a while, in conjunction with our local retail store partner, AAA Hobbies and Crafts. Well June 21 came and went, and we at MegaHobby are thrilled to call our first Hobbyfest event a complete success!

Not only did we enjoy the company of hundreds of members of our community throughout the day (including existing customers and those we met for the first time), but everyone came away from the event smiling, from children to grandparents.

At Hobbyfest, we were happy to display and offer a large variety of the activities that MegaHobby and AAA stock and sell to the public, from science and craft kits by 4M to paint-by-numbers, to model rockets and radio control, to outdoor activities that brought us onto the baseball diamond, and finally plastic model snap kits for children. Take a look at some of the pictures from our event, and thank you to everyone who helped make Hobbyfest the place to be in Barrington, NJ!

We launched our rocket six times throughout the day -- and were lucky to get it back each time!

One of the hottest items at Hobbyfest was Revell's new Skill Level 1 2015 Mustang -- just ten pieces and able to played with afterwards. Not only were the kids thrilled to have an easy start into their model building careers, but their parents were also able to learn about the activity as well
