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 Exhibitory Directory.

Miniature Wargaming Article: If you would like to see a nice report of HISTORICON 2007, the following is a 4-page review in the November 2007 issue of Miniature Wargames™ (used with permission), complete with photos at: http://www.historicon.org/HIST2007/files/Historicon2007-MWreport.pdf

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!
