Well, it is less than two months to go before Nov. 22 when we are kicking off our first effort with Historical miniatures at GameFest Indy, Indiana State Fairgrounds. Advantage Convention Services is working to line up a number of great Historical vendors for the show. Currently, they have confirmations from Nafziger and Iron Wind Metals. Also, they have invited: Star Books and Games, RLBPS, Free Trader, Vatican Enterprises, Tin Solder, Imperialist Enterprise, The Soldiery, Outland Games and DPC.

We have already scheduled a number of great events for the convention, but could still use a few more. If you are interested in hosting an event at GameFest during one of the seven gaming session over the Nov. 22-24 weekend, please contact me at either e-mail: davidkvh@aol.com or (317) 581-8840.
