Event Photos from 2008

With temperatures expected to be in the 20s on Saturday we have decided to cancel our special event station this year. Attempts to secure an indoor location for our equipment were unsuccessful. We'll be back next year!

Information for Club Members

Last year we had approximately 34 people participate in the festivities, and everyone enjoyed the day!! Along with participation comes a free pass to the 2-day weekend event. There are several battles fought throughout the weekend, and the vendors (period food and merchandise) are always open. You can roam around through the campsites of the Union and Confederate armies, and talk to the re-enactors, who love to answer your questions!! Come on down to the Boy Scout reservation and experience a bit of history!!
