The Top 10 Reasons to Attend Historicon
Convention Theme:
“The World on Fire” – The Seven Years and French & Indian Wars, 1754-63
HISTORICON 2008 is just days around the corner, and
everything is all set for our “Flagship” convention!
While pre-registration and GM event registration has closed, you can still see what
events are planned at the convention by clicking on the Events (PEL) link at the left.
Registration:
If you pre-registered you can pick up your badge, program and any t-shirts, raffle
tickets, etc., you ordered at the Pre-Registration Desk, which will be located in the
lobby just inside the front doors of the
Lancaster Host Resort & Conference Center.
If you did not pre-register, you can do so onsite once you arrive at the Lancaster Host
(registration opens 8 PM Wednesday July 23rd). The onsite Registration Desk will be
in the Good Spirits Lounge, which is directly across from the Hotel Registration and adjacent to the bar.
Convention Lodging:
Click on the Convention Lodging link at left for those hotels that already have
Group Blocks set aside for HISTORICON attendees. Rooms are still available at some
of the hotels listed (Holiday Inn Express and Historic Strasburg Inn), but make your
reservations now – they will fill up!
Exhibitors Directory:
As it does every year, HISTORICON presents “the world’s largest hobby
shop”, plus the world’s biggest hobby flea market, for four days every
July. Both offer a gigantic selection of military miniatures, rules, books and anything
else needed for the historical miniature gaming hobby. The
Exhibitory Directory has been posted (as of June 22nd) in pdf format; click on the
Exhibitor Information link at left, or the following

Remember that HISTORICON is the place to be for Historical Miniature Gaming each
summer, where there is virtually all that you need to see, game and buy, for this fun
and educational hobby. Don’t miss it, even if you just want to attend for the
day – you’ll be glad you did!
