A notice was received from the Mt. Vernon Gamer's Association that a convention called Colonial City Gamefest VI will be held July 9 and 10, 1988 at the Memorial Building in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. While no mention of specific ACW games was made in the announcement sheet, it can be assumed that such will take place. Admission is $2.00 per day or $3.50 pre-registration for both days. For more information, contact the Mt. Vernon Gamers Association at 205 W. Gambier St. / Mt. Vernon, Ohio 43050.

There will be a few different ACW events at Little Wars during the last weekend in April (3 day convention) at Parkside College in Kenosha, Wisconsin. One of the better games for JR fans will be Dean West's scenario for the battle of Prairie Grove. Contact Todd Fisher / 6010 Marmora / Chicago, IL 60646.
