This showcase march is all for history. I get that not a lot of people can understand that, but it is fine with me. I am not really a fan of seeing people do things that they do not want to do. I am here to talk about those who want to do it. If you are interested, then please, contact me and I will give you a heads up on the event. I want to make this the best one yet.
