This year’s show will be in the

Saturday has Dealers setup at 8am, and if your table is empty by 9, it will be allowed to be sold to another party.
Saturday will allow all Public folks to come in, Other Clubs, Reinactors (with your badges on or member cards), as well as if any Early Buyers wish to return, and the NEAAS Club Members in good standing (all wearing their member badges) at 9 AM for Regular Admission.

The Sturbridge Host Hotel and Conference Center is under significant transition, for which all exhibitors who participated in last year, were notified in detail.
We have the Sturbridge Police Department for our Security detail 24/7, as usual. We are proud to support the local Police Department and all their valuable assistance over the years.
The club focuses on history and sharing it with interested individuals. It is the goal and hope that the NEAAS efforts will breathe some life back into the collecting market and recreate the interest in collecting Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War I, World War II items and other areas of military interest once again.

There is a serious deadline to send in your show application NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 1, 2023. Yes, it’s early, but the Club would need to make a decision as to using 1 or 2 rooms, or not. So it’s up to the dealers to please show your support.

All Exhibitors with a sales table are required to have a current State of Massachusetts Sales Tax number. Contact Massachusetts Dept. of Revenue MA Sales Tax number online, using web-file ONLY. Massachusetts has gone paperless, so dust off the computer, or find a friend who has one and go online to sign up. You’ll have to file your Sales Tax online too. It is the typical way of doing business in any state.
