Homeschool Yo Kids Expo (10): I am not certain if these events are like the other homeschool conventions and expos.

Please check this out and compare to other conventions in your area, then let me know!

States that I cannot find any homeschool conventions for;
Alabama (they had one last year and I included the link, it was in March)
Connecticut (they had one last year and I included the link, it was in August)
Delaware
Hawaii
Mississippi
Montana
Nevada, this one also surprised me, I thought they had a large homeschooling community and there are a ton of conventions in Nevada.
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New York
Rhode Island
Vermont
West Virginia
It seems to me that a majority of the states that are not having homeschool conventions are in the East.
My understanding is that they have high taxes and pay a lot for education.
I can only surmise that the families out there do not feel the need for an alternative to public education; their taxes are paying for quality education?
I would love to hear thoughts and comments from my Easterners!
