HMGS Midwest is an active chapter, with members in five states. Besides actively supporting a number of regional conventions, their Board of Directors is currently involved in preparing for their flagship convention, Little Wars. This year's show, to be held at the Ramada O'Hare Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, on April 4-67 1997, is shaping up to be one of our best yet. The dealer area is sold out--if theres something you're looking for, you'll probably find it there. We are also developing a recognition program for our Judges who have supported us over the years, and we are working to make the painting contest an integral part of the show. Other features of the show are a flea market area and auction. For more information contact Jeff Hammerlund, 107 W. Chicago St., Algonquin EL, 60102,
