Thank you so much for posting this--I had NO idea something like this was so close to home for me, and I definitely will be attending. I'm not a re-enactor, just extremely interested in the period and am currently making and researching my first dresses of that era for a costume presentation. Now I Can't wait!!! I live in Maryland--and will probably drive up alone, since it is only about 2 hours, I think. I"d love to hear from any of you ladies attending who might be interested in sharing a hotel room for the duration of the conference (I will probably go up early and do workshops on both Thurs. and Fri.), since we all need to economize these days.
I am very excited to attend this event, it was a very easy decision once I read the conference booklet and saw what they were offering..
