We've been running this conference for 26 years and now that we have a permanent home at the fort it's only getting better. What a great facility to host a wargaming event! We offer free table space for flea market items. Bring your cash and the troops that haven't seen a tabletop in years. You could walk away making out pretty well. Site information is available here: fortmeigs.org

Is there a big turn out on Friday in the morning and afternoon?

Saturday is our busy day. Friday is for the lifers that can blow off work or are already retired. That's not to say that the events are of any less quality. Many run on both days, so if you can't get in on Friday you will have another opportunity on Saturday.
