Hello Listers, More updates on GenFest. As usual, please pass this along to anyone you
think might be interested in attending. The Civic Theater opportunity has been cancelled.
Not enough people were interested to warrant a special production expense. New additions
to GenFest: More door prizes! More Exhibitors: Continental Chapter of S.A.R. Paul Revere
Chapter, D.A.R. Sons of Union Veterans (will be playing some CW music!) Sons of
Confederate Veterans United Daughters of the Confederacy The Tom Telegraph Chapter of the
Children of the Confederacy 50th Virginia Re-enactors African American Genealogy Group
Miami Valley, OH African AMerican Genealogy Group Indiana African American Genealogy Group
of Indianapolis Rob Jeffs, Irish/English research tips, photos of an Irish famine ship.
Remember! Bags and briefcases are not allowed into the Local History & Genealogy
Center. Lockers are available or you may use a clear-vue bag or tote. I saw some nice ones
made for crafters at Wal-M!
art and at Hobby Lobby. They'd be ideal for files or laptop. Once again, make use of
your digital cameras (or 35MM) to copy documents and pages from books. I've even seen
very successful photos taken from microfilm viewer screens. The Civic Theater offer of a
special presentation has been removed. We didn't have enough people interested to make
it cost effective. Some of the hotel/motel room blocks have become dated, some moved
forward. Be sure to check those if you plan on using that type of facility. If you plan on
camping, please check out the great deal at the Delaware County Fairgrounds. There will be
a registration book where you can leave a list of surnames you're researching and
leave contact info. At the same time, you'll register for door prizes and get your
gift bags full of little goodies and coupons. More to come soon! Shirley Pearson a.k.a.
