> A few years ago I was able to attend the NARA Genealogy Fair, looked around, attended some sessions, and helped staff the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG) table for a bit.
>
> When I first heard there would be not fair in 2013, due to sequestration, it made me a bit sad as it was such a neat event and showcase for NARA and its holdings and the expertise of its employees.
>
> I am happy to report that NARA has come up with a neat solution – it will hold a “virtual” genealogy fair.  To borrow from my British cousin, this is “brilliant!”  Not only will the fair again be held and it will be available to you regardless of where you live!
