I might show up in some capacity

That would be great. I know some of the guns that will be out for the show will be worth attending alone. Some rare pieces from some of the major collectors in Michigan.

Will the show be limited to CW artillery? As a sidenote I will bring my recently completed battery wagon and limber.

Ken, I am pretty certain that they are hoping you will be bringing your newest U.S. howitzer. My dad, Norm Gibson, Matt Switlick, and Brian Haack were discussing your new gun when we first met about this. Contact those guys, as I think they will be allowing guns from eras other than the Civil War. ;)
