One last thing: This year due to my workload I have had to forgo the traditional mailing. I ask you to please pass along to all your gaming buddies the good news about Peninsula Campaigns and come on down with a good crew.
Admission for Peninsula Campaigns will be $10.00 USD. The admission for children 12 and under will be $5.00 USD.
The convention will run from 8 AM-11 PM with events going on all day. We usually schedule events in three time slots, 9 AM to 1 PM, 2 PM to 6 PM and 7 PM to the 11 PM close. However, if other times work for you, please let me know. All I ask is that no event starts before 9AM and that we can conclude activities by 11PM for final cleanup and teardown.
We will be having a flea market area that will be available for $5.00 USD per table. If there are any dealers interested in attending this one-day event, please contact me. Dealer tables will be $20.00 USD.
