Petersburg, MI
Is this event now defunct? I'm finding zero information on any plans for this year. It's a bummer because I'm new to Michigan. Did anyone go to the last one?

In addition to kZoo April 21-22, don't forget the Ann Arbor pinball show 2017, May 5-7. Come play 350 games. One of the largest shows in the country by game count. Tickets are pre-sale only, and are limited. So don't wait till the last second to get a ticket, because it does sell out. for details see www.vfwpinball.com

Gotta agree with the OP, I can't find anything on an expo at Oakland University for 2017 either. Maybe it's dead. It sure was on life support last year anyway.
We had a schedule conflict last year and had to go on a Sunday. Previously we always went on Saturdays. Don't go on Sunday if you can avoid it. There was maybe 1/3 of the games that were there the year before, and practically no B/W, it was mostly late model Stern pros.
I guess all the B/W got sold, if they had any there at all. No offense to Stern fans, but we like 90s B/W.
Thankful for the VFW show, that is just awesomeness. Hopefully that never goes away.
The Ohio expo looks pretty good too. We plan to hit that someday.
Too bad if MI expo is dead, we were going to give it one more shot.

For 2018 the VFW show will have 400 unique and restored pin game titles. One of the largest shows in the country, if not the largest, by working unique game count. We plan to keep doing it!

You're going to need another building ... 
Quoted from mikedetroit:If you like 90s B/W, check out SPARKS Pinball Museum.
We hit that a couple weeks ago, its a little over an hour away from home. Very nice collection, although a few were broke and it wasn't obvious until you dropped quarters in. But the staff was very good at returning funds if a game was broke.
Will go there again in the future.

Please don't say that....
Quoted from MrBally:Please don't say that....
You know that is coming right?
Quoted from MotorCityMatt:You know that is coming right?
And to think, it all started out as one humble building with a septic field and four car garage/storage building. As long as the next building is named after the night tournament director from the last show, I'm cool with it.

I've never heard of this show.

I'll help ... I'm down the road a bit.
