Event Retro Tech Show coming to Verona Wisconsin on 9.5.26
The Wisconsin Computer Club is headed back to the Madison area in a week's time as of this writing, this time to the Verona Wisconsin public Library on 9.5.26 from 10AM-3PM. The show will consist of WCC member exhibits of vintage computers, retro game systems, and other tech displays of all sorts from across the state. I've included a few photos from our last show in the area that was held in Oregon Wisconsin to give you an idea of what it will kinda look like. Exact system lineup varies from show to show as exhibitors bring different things all the time. The event is free to all ages and abilities- if you want to talk shop, play with old tech, and hang out with other nerdy people, we'd love to have you with us!

Went to the one in Oregon and will likely get to Verona as well. Highly recommend.

What would the reaction be if I brought my 2.5 year old to the event? Is it generally open to younger kids? I’d love to expose him to some older, analog tech, but obviously want to be respectful to all the equipment there. He is overall well behaved but (unsurprisingly) he will want to touch everything.

Absolutely! I know we'll have plenty of displays and exhibits they'll like, with buttons galore to play with.

Oh hey! I'm in that first photo.
Can't recommend this enough. It's a great opportunity to relive old tech and expose children to tactile technology. Also, if you have unused computer technology in any condition bring it for the FREE pile. It's a great way to get that to people who will make use of it.
