As many may have heard the Baltimore Show was cancelled about a week ago. We got word today that the Mansfield Show has also been cancelled. Driven by the Ohio Governor's order for no public gatherings over 100 people. Don't forget to cancel any reservations you might have had. Really stinks but I feel it is the right thing to be safe. A bunch of us fall into that "over 60" category.
For more information on Mansfield, see:

CURRENTLY (as of 4/19/2020):
- Baltimore

- Port Hudson
- Mansfield

- Gettysburg (summer edition)
-

-
I checked with the Fredericksburg Show admins on Saturday and just heard back that the Fredericksburg Show has also been cancelled. They said they were going to start contacting the table holders today.
-

-
I have no idea but when I have more info on any show I'll post it here.
-
NVRHA Show is cancelled
-
Just saw on the website that the spring Wheaton Show is also cancelled.
-
Just heard from Ronnie that the new Port Hudson Show was cancelled yesterday. I suspect this list will grow every week.
-
I just saw that the Corinth Show is also cancelled.
-
Hello. Hope that all are safe. I got word today that the Brandon, MS show was just cancelled.
-
The Brandon miss. show is Cancelled also !
-
Damn this year is Cancelled !!!!
-
Yes we should start a pool on when the first show happens. I’m thinking Marietta. Could be July Richmond or Chattanooga.
-
I love your optimism, Carl. I think there may be a difference between when some shows open and when a population of mostly older men want to congregate in relatively close proximity for roughly two days. Show promoters may have an incentive to push things, but as much as I love the camaraderie of shows I do not think I am alone in saying that I personally am not going to any mass gatherings of our higher risk population until there is a good treatment or an administered vaccine.
This consensus will determine when we have fully viable shows going on again. I do not see the path to it yet, but know it will happen eventually and can't wait.
-
I am often accused of being overly optimistic. But maybe it'll be so. If i had to bet it would be for Marietta.
I couldn't agree more about the vaccine along with hospitals with capacity and rested care givers.

As one of those old folks, we've seen things come and go and this business too will pass eventually-Just hang in there, there are better days ahead.

According to the Union Drummer Boy web site the Summer Gettysburg Show has not been cancelled yet.
-
I received an email that the show in Richmond in July is still on schedule, but that is subject to possibly change. Who knows ??!! Stay safe...
-
Add the summer Gettysburg Show to the list of those that have been cancelled.
-
On their website it says postponed to a later date. To be announced by June 1st or so.
-
I saw a Facebook post from the Union Drummer Boy that said due to COVID-19 the Gettysburg Civil War Collectors show originally scheduled for June 26-28th has been postponed until September 25-27th.
