I got an email last week advertising the Virginia Coal Festival in Castlewood, VA May 20-21st. Scott Persons and Bob Beyfuss are each speaking Friday and Saturday morning. I'm not sure how many folks on here are within striking distance, but I plan to attend. For details, see

It sounds like a great event, and I'm really looking forward to meeting them. Thanks for the reminder that Andy Hankins is speaking too. I saw that and then forgot to mention it. I'll try and make an effort to post whatever I learn!
