A list of this year's participating vendors has been posted on our Vendors Page

We are pleased and honored to announce that John Jenkins, owner of John Jenkins Designs, will be attending our show and premiering his new line of American Revolutionary War subjects. John is renowned for his skill as a sculptor and painter, and his figures are prized by collectors for their quality. John has also generously donated several of his sets, to be raffled off through the course of the show. We’d like to express our thanks to John for the donation and extend him a warm welcome!


We look forward to seeing all of our old friends again this year, along with making new ones.

Best regards,
The members of the MFCA
