We hope to see you at the 2026 Annual VLTA Convention!

This October, step back to 1882 Roanoke, where railroad expansion, hidden records, and long-buried secrets set the stage for The Christmas Current Mystery.

Throughout Convention, clues will be revealed, conversations may hold unexpected hints, and every detail could bring you one step closer to solving the case. Stay alert—you never know where the next clue might be hiding.

One sharp-eyed investigator will crack the mystery and take home a special prize.

Register. Investigate. Solve.
