No live firearms or ammo allowed as part of 'Displays'; does not apply to CPL holders.

New/recent additions to the show/swapmeet:

1. 'Wolfhounds' Living History of a historically correct 67/68 infantry squad emcampment w/ everything they had and used.

2. LZ Michigan 'Big Map' of Vietnam and adjoining countries on display. The map is 75' X 55' ; visitors walk on it to look at the different parts of the country, Vietnam Vets sign it with a Sharpie at a location they were in country. The map/display is truly stunning! it was first shown at the 'Welcome Home' event in Grand Rapids on July 3rd.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

How is the action on Sunday? Is everyone packing up early or does the exodus not happen until afternoon.

I think most will be gone by noon or so. At least thats the way it was last year.

How much super rope do you want me to save for you?

How much PDF foot? If I can afford it I would like to get enough to redo my cargo cover and my cab cover. I am probably going to show on Saturday. My son has to work on Saturday so we were thinking of going on Sunday.

Any body know if Dan Johnson of Hastings Mich. is going to be there, I need to get ahold of him, he's got some stuff of mine, like a seat frame for my wrecker and some other things, and I've got a set of M-725 rear doors for him.

A bump and the clock is ticking.. Anybody have a large genset to power up camp? I would love to run my air conditioner! Also need some sandbags for the 55'x75' map of Vietnam we will have out. Anybody?
I could use a convoy light kit if anyone has a extra to spare?
