It is going to take place on the grounds of a 4-H camp. We get to use almost 900 acres of the 2000 acre site. Like the flyer says, there are a dozen buildings, and we get to shoot from and run around in 3 of them. The buildings are up on a hill, with corn fields nearby, and makes a nice village. There are a couple streams to cross, and woods with horse trails big enough to drive a jeep down. I've looked over the site, and I think it'll be an awsome event. Hope to see y'all there! Franz.
kestrel:
On October 18th, they are having Halifax Harvest Days. It's like a really small fair. But one would get the chance to check out the future battlefield, see a couple public battles, and meet some reenactors. It is free!
kestrel:
Preregistration is due by October 31st. The USO club will be open for a get together Saturday night after the event, with 1940's music and units bring their own refreshments. Allies and Germans will switch between offense and defense on 900 acres, so both will have well rounded fun!
kestrel:
You can register and pay at the gate, so you can show up even if you haven't preregistered. We are also looking for umpires if anyone is interested. You must be at least 18.
