We are desperately looking for Civil War re-enactors to do a Living History on Oct. 10 @ 10am at the Steiger House, 120N. Main St. Mercersburg PA to commemorate Stuart’s 1862 raid and to raise awareness about the William Squire Smith House circa 1730s, a national landmark where the first resistance to British Rule took place. The Steiger House is several doors down from the Smith House which was recently purchased by the fire dept. to be razed so a parking lot can be made. Please call Tim McCown or Karen Ramsburg for details 717-498-0364 or send us an email if you can help us.

Mr. Huzar, I began doing a Viet Cong impression this year which surprisingly has been well received and best appreciated by Viet Nam vets. However, I have also been turned away from two events because such an “impression may upset some people”.I display both original and replica items and lecture on V.C. tactics, equipment, beliefs, etc.. If this is too much for you fine, but if you think you may be interesetd in having me attend your event, I need to know more about it. Such as, how many reenactors and spectators do you expect, and what about food, etc.. Respectfully, Larry Garris

The community of Lockport, Illinois cordially invites all reenactment groups to participate in the next Old Canal Days living history timeline. The encampment will be held on Saturday & Sunday, June 16 & 17, 2012. The timeline commemorates the long and diverse history of the American experience and is just part of the many educational opportunities that are being planned at this revitalized family festival.
Participating reenactors will be provided both food and non-alcoholic beverages during the event. Straw and firewood will also be provided upon request. Groups that desire to camp on Saturday night may do so, but event organizers must know in advance.
Additionally, the festival will begin with the traditional Friday evening parade, beginning about 6:30pm on June 15, 2012. Groups that would also be willing to participate in the parade should notify event organizers. For more information about the encampment and parade, please call 1.815.838.9400 or email mharmon@gaylordbuilding.org
Thank you.
