Hello all, just a heads up for those of you in the NW Ohio area and not headed to Fall In; there is a Gaming event at Ft. Meigs in Perrysburg Ohio this Saturday. It is in direct support of the Ohio Historical Society. The admission cost ($5, $4 USD for students) will get you into the Event, the Fort Museum and into the Fort itself, but I understand the Blockhouse exhibits closed on Nov. 1st.
As as added bonus, you'll get to share in the life-changing event Scott from Pictors Studio experienced last year;
you'll get to meet ME and Mrwigglesworth!! 
I got this from the HMGSGL Yahoo! message board:
Howdy All,
Our little convention is three this year. I hope everyone is
planning to bring stuff for the Flea Market. There will be extra tables set-up around the room for your sale items. We should have a good turn-out of students and they will be looking for those painted troops to jump start their introduction to miniatures gaming. Here is the list of events and activities as of today.

Other Activities
The ladies from the Old Northwest Military History Association will be cooking good all-beef hot dogs for us so you won't have to leave for lunch. All profits from the food sales go directly to this group to help the volunteers and historical interpreters at the fort. The museum collection and the gift shop will be open all day. The
blockhouses are closed for the Winter after Nov 1. but you can still go out into the stockade to walk-off lunch.
Adult admission is only $5 USD for the day, $4 USD for students and that gets you the museum and the gaming, what a bargain! If Fall-In is just too expensive and too far, try our local show and support OHS.
