The Danville Tank Museum is having a show on Saturday April 28th and Sunday April 29th. I have personally never been to the museum but will be attending the show this year. I spoke with the Museum manager yesterday and it looks like it will be a very good show. They seem to have a wide variety of events going on so it should appeal to all military enthusiast.

Here is a link to their website.

When I spoke with the manager she said there would be a lot going on that weekend. In addition to the normal tours they will have:
-wargaming tables set up. She said this was very popular last year
-RC tank battles The museum has a large indoor battlefield set up for the battles.
-car crushing I think they crush a car every year. I guess thats always fun.

I know that most of you aren't near Danville, Va but if you are close by it might be worth the trip.

Thanks
