Subject: Trenton (NJ) Computer Festival info

The 12th annual Trenton Computer Festival will occur on April 11 and 12,
1987, on the campus of Trenton State College, Trenton, NJ.  (Actually,
Trenton State is located in Ewing Township, a lovely residential suburb
of Trenton, and not in the city itself.)

Last year, we had over 17,000 people who attended the 11th anniversary of
the original personal computer show.  TCF is the largest non-commercial
show of this kind in the country.  It is run by volunteers from Trenton
State College, Mercer County College, Amateur Computer Group of NJ, 
Philadelphia Area Computer Society, Central Jersey Computer Club, Princeton
section of the IEEE Computer Society/ACM, NY Amateur Computer Club, and
Philadelphia Heath users Group.

There are over 100 speakers scheduled to speak on a great variety of
topics.  Additionally, there will be special conferences on packet radio,
public domain software, education, business applications, and computers
for the handicappped.  TCF sponsors an essay contest for junior and senior
high schoolers.  First prize is a computer system!

The computer graphics theater features movies and videos showing applications
of the latest and most interesting applications of graphics.

The games contest lets kids get their hands on and win prizes.  The 
telecommunications area lets grown ups sample commercial information
services at no charge.  And there are door prizes awarded by drawings
throught both days.

Saturday evening features the TCF banquet with a nationally known speaker.
Last year, we had Bill Machrone speak.  Send $15 per banquet ticket to
