National exhibitors vote to return to Baltimore in 2012

It's early yet. My feeling is that the dealers are going to complain so much about not wanting Cleveland, that they will switch it to Baltimore or Chicago.

Best News I've heard all day. Lets hope the O's are in town again.

I am really pleased to learn of this. I was unable to attend the 2010 National in Baltimore because of a conflicting family reunion in the Netherlands. My wife and I had originally planned to do an extended trip of the Mid-Atlantic states to include the National plus visits to D.C., Annapolis and various Civil War historical sites such as Gettysburg, Annapolis etc, and after hearing of the great times that all seemed to have had in Baltimore I was doubly sorry to have missed out (although we had a helluva nice time in Holland). Looking forward to Cleveland or Chicago just wasn't going to cut it for me, but now I am counting the months to August 2012.

yes,yes! baltimore was the perfect venue. everything within walking distance. to make things better, i have a host of relatives there. one of the best 10 days away from home i've had in quite a while. then to top things off i met many there for the first time, though we've sent each other thousands of $$$ over the years. nice to put a face to a name. just my $0.02
