Pictorial Preview of Trips to Robert E. Howard Days: From 2012 to 2015

If you have not already registered for this year's Robert E. Howard Days (for the banquet, picnic, food, drinks, etc.) don't put it off any longer. If you've decided not to go to the banquet, or picnic, all the other events (panels and chatting at the pavilion, seeing the Robert E. Howard House and Museum) are free, but you might want to go ahead and reserve your hotel room if you plan to stay a few days.

This will be my fifth year at REH Days. Every year I've been I've taken a ton of photographs. So, below are a few selected photos that I've taken of the event from 2012 to 2015. Enjoy!
