Richmond & CORPS

26th Annual CORPS Exposition & Celebration

1, 2, 3 October 2010 - Richmond, Virginia, the Tobacco Capital

Celebrating our 26th Pipe Smokers' Exposition and our Enjoyment of our PIPES & TOBACCOS!

Our friends, our pipes, our tobaccos - Since 1984

I just made my reservations. It looks like I will really be going to the CORPS show in Richmond this year. I have had big plans the last two years, only to have something come up and prevent me from going. I've got my fingers crossed and I think I will make it. Unfortunately, Mark will not be with me. It looks like I will be flying (figuratively) solo, unless I can do the hard sell on my buddy Chuck.

I'm looking forward to the Richmond experience. I've had more than one person tell me that while the Chicago Show is The Meca of pipe smokers, Richmond is the Soul of the pipe world. I'm not sure what that means, but I sure want to find out.

I'll be driving over and camping on the way. I can't decide between Warriors Path State Park in TN or Hungry Mother SP in Virginia. Both sound good. I still have nearly a month to decide. For now I have the fun of pouring over maps and websites for info.

More about the trip later -T
