Hope to see you there!
I'll be all the way in the back, by the double doors.
Lots of M151 parts, uniforms, my 1945 Bantam trailer, WW2 field table, packs and bags, blankets, large pictures, medical items, and much, much more!

Make my wife a happy woman and buy some of this stuff!!

Any post-show report? How has it?
I went a couple years ago but was unable to attend this year.

PROS:
Show was sold out - a lot of vendors!
Red Ball was very accommodating and helpful. When we got there the power lines were down, so no lights, but everyone made the best of it.
Lots of visitors on Saturday morning.
Kitchen was a real plus! Location is excellent.
Weather was excellent.
Did a bit better than broke even for the day.
CONS:
Visitation tapered way off in the early afternoon.
Many vendors were selling much the same stuff as each other - made sales hard.
Not much advertising except flyers and the Red Ball Website. (and us on the G503)

All in all it was an OK show and I'll be back.
