Here is a post from another forum with more info

HUZZAH - Portland MAINE FOW event being planned need input

Perrakir, and Co.

Huzzah! is a historical wargaming convention scheduled for April 30th-May 2nd. The event will be hosted by the Holiday Inn Portland West, on Riverside Drive in Portland. The FOW tournament will be on Saturday, May 1st. Gordon is organizing the event and they are off to a big start. I know that he has at least the five players he mentioned earlier, but there has been a lot of discussion about it as well. I have no doubt that the tournament slots will fill quickly!

The rest of the convention will include a wide selection of games, as well as some special events, prizes, etc. If you hang out on The Miniatures Page you might have read some of the news posts about speakers, vendors and sponsors. Aside from the games, here are some of the events we have planned:

Friday night
Society of Twentieth Century Wargamers gathering
Welcome from Shipyard Brewing Co. with soda and beer specials
Panzer tactics presentation

Saturday
FOW Tournament
ACW Presentations, discussion and book signing
Painting competition
28mm Battle of Sabis games (3000+ miniatures donated by Wargames Factory)
28mm Shipyard sponsored ACW games
Aerodrome tournaments

Sunday
Flea Market
Awards
Extended gaming session (we are hoping to have a really nice FOW game for the extended session too)

There is a ton more I could write, but you can read all about it on the convention web site, www.huzzahcon.com

Hope you can make the FOW tournament that Gordon is planning. Its going to be a beaut!
