"I never go to conventions or shows"

That is not what this poll is asking. It is not asking if you ever been to these conventions, it is asking for the top 5 conventions on your list. I voted for five conventions I have never been to. But I have been in the hobby long enough to know they should be in the top five or ten.

Enfilade here in the Pacific Northwest

Other – Colonial Barracks.

And RockCon should probably have been listed as RockCon/WhatKhan, since it ran under the second name the last few years due to some confusion as to the ownership.

Colours was the only show on the list in my top 5 hence the only one I voted for

After Historicon I would have to say BARRAGE by HAWKS just outside of Baltimore is the best local convention closely followed by the WILLIAMSBURG MUSTER.

I voted for the two HMGS cons that I have visited and would have voted for Millennium had it been listed. It is the only I can reach these days.

Another vote for Enfilade.

Oh and another vote for Enfilade here in the Pacific Northwest.

A shout out to TwisterCon in OKCity in March. Good regional venue.

I am voting as if I had unlimited time and money, not real life – but desire.


of course with truly unlimited time and money then "All of the Above" would be my answer.

Another vote for Colonial Barracks. Even though I haven't gone, it's on my bucket list.

Carronade is held in my home town so it would be wrong not to go. Claymore 25 mile away in Edinburgh is one I've attended since 83. Been to a few in England but the trip to York in February ended in a car crash and 4 months off work. Doubt I'll travel so far a field in future.

I can't believe nobody mentioned Battlegroup South.
