How was it?Thanks for your answers Guys! Iam now registred for the Event as Guest of the 4th Kentucky.
I saw they had the 160th anniversary of the siege of Fort Blakely for 3 days. 4,5, and 6th. No info except the Living History and reenactments on the 5th. Do you know if they did anything those other two days? Maybe participants could arrive early and stay late?
I've been in the past, was supposed to go this year but something came up. Usually Saturday is for the public. The action starts for the reenactors Friday afternoon. A good portion of the event is a campaigner style event with no spectators. It a great event, bummed out I couldn't make it this year.
Hey thanks for spelling it our for me. I knew I could count on you. I saw those guys on Pinterest videos doing their thang. I am impressed by the earthworks. I want to participate in the future. Like a year in the future. HA! I don't know if my kits and uniforms will pass inspection so I have a year to get things in order. Alabama Depot uniforms I guess. I can figure it our looking at the photos on line. Health concerns have me laid out flat right now so I am glad it was brought up to remind me.
It's held every other year so you have 2 years to get ready. While I usually go Confederate I went Federal down there, can't bring myself to buy another jacket I'll only possibly use once every couple years. If you look back through the Reenactors Forum there's been some good threads including photos of past events there.
Perfect. I think I'll need 2 years. Im hoping to at least attend if not participate in the 150th Greasy Grass fight. I have to purchase some 1870s Cavalry items. I wanted them anyway and I have a good amount of things already to add to. I have the funds so I don't mind blowing money on events that I have never been able to attend before. Any of them back east. Just never had the money or the time. This stuff gives me something to look forward to and even if my health fails me and I don't make it out there at least I have purpose and hope.
And to think, @bdtex and others, that we were there just last year...
Cool! Thanks for posting. That looks like a long haul assaulting that fort. I think I'll stay Confederate if I ever make it back there.
Who's getting paid $500.00 per reenactment?Love that kid
Getting paid $500 per reenactment, I could be living the dream haha
Just some comments from kids spectating; saying it would be worth if to lie dead on the ground the whole time since reenactors are being paid $500 they said
