Is one of the road shows going to come to a US model railroad convention as they are reopening in Virginia this June?

I was wondering as most model railroaders in the USA don't have any clue that this exists.

To give you all an idea, our roadshow is approx 16ft by 8 ft (4.880m x 2.440m ) over all. The inner smallest service/stabling road which is 10ft long has a radius of 37” (940mm) and the inner main line is 39.5”(1000mm). The outer main line is 42.75” (1060mm). The outer service/stabling road is 44” (1120mm). The outer public loop radius is 46” (1170mm). Our straight sections are 2x1200mm sections on each side of the layout, the front side has gentle sweeping opposition mainline curves to add that little something! (well, quite a lot really!) The rear side has straight track with a crossover switch to facilitate moving stock from one main line to the other. It also has the start of the outer 10ft long service/stabling road. The layout sections are 12” wide and are supported on adjustable floor pylons placed on foldable ‘A’ frame pylons. We have been exhibiting this roadshow layout since Nov 2015 taking it to around 40 venues. Very little has gone wrong due to robust construction and professional electrical work. I think details are available so where on the main site. If not we can sort it!! Go for it guys!!
