I generally attend the following Civil War shows...
Dalton, Georgia...the first weekend in February.
The Northern Virginia Relic Hunters show in April. (This used to be in Chantilly, but is now in Fredericksburg at the new expo center.)
The Ohio Civil War show in Mansfield, the first weekend in May.
The National Civil War show in Richmond, in August. (Sponsored by North-South Trader)
The Capital of the Confederacy Civil War Show in Richmond, in November.
Thanks to the promoters and staff at ALL these shows (and the many others) for keeping our hobby alive and well. How I wish I had the financial resources and the time to attend ALL the great shows!
