    Top Events of 2007?

    I realize that the preliminary '07 event schedule got dumped in the latest crash (and I have yet to finalize the OTB version). But let's look ahead anyway. I will preface as few questions with a hypothetical assumption. Let's assume that there are no (or VERY few) "good" events within a 3 hour drive of your home.

    Are there any events that you would drive over 6 or 8 hours to attend? Which ones?

    Are there any events that you would drive over 3 or 4 hours to attend? Which ones?

      My husband and I have driven ten hours to a quality event. Our motto, good event will travel.

          I have to drive 12 hrs just to leave the state......so I guess my answer to the questions, is: Any event I attend out of the state, this is limited to BGR.

          Wanted.

          All ladies in Houston and surrounding counties who have cloth on hand, which they can spare, are requested to donate it to the ladies of Crockett for the purpose of making petticoats for the Minute Men of this county, who have "backed out" of the service. We think the petticoat more suitable for them in these times.

            Looking forward to Mansfield (6 hours), I-600 (plane and automobile so no clue) and Vicksburg (3.5 hrs).

              Can anyone say more about the I600 event? I attended the 2002 event and it was incredible. I was a confederate prisoner and would love the get the experience as a guard. What's the story?

              Cheers!

                      Top Events of 2007?

                      Maybe this has been discussed before, but what are the 6 or 7 events you expect to be THE top events for 2007 - no matter if you will be attending or not, no matter if it's public or not. These are what you expect to be THE premier events next year.

                      Thanks!
