Hello, All!
I am pleased to announce that Peninsula Campaigns, the summer historical miniatures gaming convention in Kalamazoo, Michigan, will be taking place on Saturday, August 2.
This year we have a change of location. Peninsula Campaigns is proud to announce that it's GHQ will be at the Best Western Hotel, located at 3640 East Cork Street. This is literally just a few blocks down the road from the old location, and is also just off Exit 80 from I-94 on Sprinkle Road.
As in years past, we will have many "Old Guard" GM's returning who have been the core of our success. We are always looking to add new faces as well. If you are interested in running an event, please see the CONTACT section below. We would also like to add some small tournament or demo events like DBA and Flames of War. If anyone is interested in running these events, please get in touch with me. One thing that may be of interest is the fact that we have some 4' round tables available for those who wish to use them, as well as the standard 2.5' X 6' long tables. Please consider this with any events that you may be planning or have available.
We are also looking for dealers. At this time I have a couple of returning dealers from last year, but I am looking for other interested parties to come in and sell their wares. If you are interested, or know of anyone interested please contact me.
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 8AM-11PM, with events going on all day. We usually schedule events in three time slots, 9AM to 1PM, 2PM to 6PM, and 7PM to the 11PM close. However, if other times work for you, please let me know. All I ask is that no event start 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.
The schedule will be similar to last year. The Dealer Area will open at 9AM and close at 6PM. The Flea Market area will open around 9AM and stay open until roughly 6PM. The first session of events will start at 9AM and will run until 1PM. The second session will start at 2PM until 6PM. Finally the third session will run from 7PM until 11PM. Of course, we will welcome any events anytime between 9AM and 10PM.
