Hello everyone,

I recieved the website from Ed Stabb for the 5th Annual coming up August 14th in Booneville, NY. http://www.vsca2010show.com/ 

Sounds like this will be agreat show! See you all there.

Judy and I have just returned from the SHOF show in St Germain. For Judy and I the Saturday afternoon Camp and Cook out at the SHOF museum was a great addition to the weekend. It gives everyone a chance to talk in a much more relaxed setting.

It was off to the show Sunday morning at 5:45. To our surprise we were in the back of a well established long line! At that point it was very apparent it was going to be a very good show. The weather was perfect and everything was well set up and in place for the Swapmeet, the show, and do not forget the good food. There will be full coverage of the show in the September issue of the VSM.

We would like to thank all of you that stopped by the booth and signed up or renewed for the VSM. Your continued support means so much to the future of the magazine.

Thanks again and we will see you at Milbank, SD June 4^th and 5^th,

Mike and Judy Meagher
