[VAcourier] Smoky Mountain Relic Show

[Virginia Division SCV Communication List]

The Tennessee Division asked if we would post this information regarding 
their Smoky Mountain Relic Show next August. This is a joint event 
between the City of Pigeon Forge, TN and the Tennessee Division, SCV and 
it is a new venture for them. They are inviting SCV members to attend 
and those who are WBTS relic vendors who might wish to set-up a table at 
the event. Additional reminders will be sent out next year as the event 
gets closer.

*The Smoky Mountain Relic Show will be held 27-29 Aug, '10 at the Smoky 
Mountain Convention Center, 4010 Parkway, Pigeon Forge adjacent to the 
Ramada.  Friday, the 27th will be a set-up date, the show will actually 
be on Sat & Sun, 28-29 Aug.  *


*Mr. Mike Kent of Mike Kent Productions is consulting with us on this 
event and will be bringing in several vendors he is associated with. 
 With this in mind I would like to include vendors who are also SCV 
members.  Should you fall into this category I would like to invite you 
to join us.  Please feel free to contact me at your earliest possible 
convenience.*


*Sales spaces, booths, are 8' x 5' and are $80.00 each.*


*About the venue, inside the center we will have approx. 100 vendor 
spaces, booths  There will be a stage available and I plan to have the 
ladies from a local UDC Chapter do fashion shows and other period 
demonstrations.  Also Gen Lee (David Chaltas) and his group will be 
joining us to mingle with our guests.  Also at the center we will have 
on station the full scale replica of the CSS Hunley.  Behind the center 
on a hill there will be a Confederate and Union living history camps. 
 Also, I plan to have artillery pieces to make a little noise.  I have 
two guns confirmed and if possible would like to have 10-12 total.  Our 
re-enactors will be the 63rd TN Inf (CS) and the 8th TN Vol Inf (US). 
 Lest I forget NC's very own H. K. Edgerton will pay us a visit as well.*


*This event, if successful, will be held annually.  TN Division 
Commander Michael Bradley has designated it as the first official event 
of the TN Division's Sesquicentennial celebration.  Should all go well 
by 2013 we hope to have, in another nearby location, a full scale 
re-enactment.  Pigeon Forge is COMPLETELY behind our efforts as they 
contacted us with the idea. *


*If you know anything about Pigeon Forge you know it is definitely a 
family fun destination with rides, shows and shopping to satisfy every 
member of your family.  /So, come on, buy a booth, bring the family and 
enjoy East Tennessee hospitality for a weekend.  See ya there!!/*
