Which events are you planning on attending this coming season?
I plan on attending:
Arcade & Attica railroad event in New York in August
Hartform City Indiana in October
I may also attend the Newmarket VA, event and/or an event in Fort Wayne IN. All depends on vacation time, most of these events require 5 to 10 hours of driving time each way!
These are in addition to 4 local Civil War events in Ontario and a few 1812 events as well. It all makes for a busy summer schedule!

Well, it's a shame I won't be seeing any of you guys on the field. Due to lack of resources I will be defending my own state in the coming season. The main one's I will be attending will be right at home, The Battle of Olustee and quite a few living histories.

Re enactor, Living Historian and Battlefield Preservationist
Because of where my unit, Battery B, First U.S. Artillery, is located--in Key West, we don't haver the opportunity to travel to many events. Takes time to tow a cannon! But, we went to Brooksville last month (a most excellent event), we'll be doing our own event in Key West this weekend (Fort Taylor Civil War Days) and we'll make the trek to Olustee next weekend.
