OK Steel Soldiers,
I wanted to give a heads up about an up coming event / possible ralley for SS. The Virginia War Musuem's annual Military Vehicle show is scheduled for Sept 27-28 at their location in Newport News VA.

This is a great show and a good opportunity for SS and public awareness in regards to the MV hobby and positve PR for who we are.
Even though this is a small show, it is well attended by the general public. Several reinactment groups attend, vendors offering militaria and my favorite is the militaria auction held Friday / Saturday nights. Unlike Aberdeen and a few other MV shows this one is about reaching out to the public and is sponsored in conjunction with the Hampton Roads Militaria Society.
There is always is nice display of military vehicles and room for many more.
If we can get enough members to commit, we could organize a special SS event, side trip (Ft Eustis transportation museum?) or a BBQ. We have good number of members in the Hampton Roads area so this would be easy on the fuel budget.
This has always been a special show for me, back in 1998 this is where I caught OD fever. I'll be there with the M215 GMC dumper, hope to see you there also!
