Has any body heard when the Baseball Bash will be in January? Hopefully it has not been canceled. I know attendance has been down the last several years.

I plan on attending if it is going to happen, but also havent heard anything.
It appears that there unfortunately will be no Bash in January. Sounds like an issue with the venue. I don't have any other details then that. Hopefully it will be back in 2016. They have run one of the best events for a very long time.
I'll post links to some out of town events in another thread later in the event someone is looking for an alternative.

PIS anything else in Virginia that you know of would be great
My friends over at College Baseball Insider have hosted really good 1 events the last several years here in Richmond. I think 2 years ago they had 4 ACC Head Coaches. No word if they'll be running it yet. I'm sure they'll post soon.
Otherwise, I don't have any VA coaches clinics. But you may be interested in...
ABCA in Orlando 1st weekend in Jan. ABCA is the big boy of coaches clinics. Its not local, but it is Florida in January!
Be The Best in Cherry Hill, NJ. 2nd weekend in Jan. Commonly referred to simply as Cherry Hill Clinic. Really good. 42nd year running. Just across the river from Philly. Lots of VA high school coaches attend. I think I saw almost of of the NoVa coaches there last year!
World Baseball Convention at the Mohegan Sun Casino in CT. Very good event. Flights into Providence or Boston are pretty cheap. Mohegan Sun is one of the largest casinos by square footage in the country. I didn't see any card tables last year, but I did see about 50 restaurants. Its like a city under 1 roof. Pretty awesome.
