2014 events?

[Oxkern]

I'm starting get itchy feet again as I didn't get out to Gettysburg this summer.

I'm aware of 150th events at the Wilderness and New Market in the spring, and of Atlanta in the Autumn. Are there any others that might be worth keeping an eye on? Getting an idea of what's going on when (and where) will help me shape a trip around it! Probably going to be looking at the eastern theatre this time round.

I don't want to be drawn into a debate about which ones might be farbfests or moneymakers for the organisers etc but just an idea of what'll be going on.

My understanding there will be a battle of Franklin.

 

[Diplogeek]

150th Cedar Creek will be in the fall- on the actual battlefield, as far as I'm aware.

 

[AUG]

What about Cold Harbor or the Crater at Petersburg?

150th Cedar Creek will be in the fall- on the actual battlefield, as far as I'm aware.

The last Cedar Creek event I attended (years ago, more than likely the 135th event) was absolutely fantastic! Hope they have kept their standards, as it would be a great event to attend.

Sincerely,
Unionblue

I'm going this year (it's only an hour away, so no long drive!); I'll report back, assuming I don't die of exposure out there.

Might be able to meet you there, if my grandson decides he wants to do a national event.

As for exposure, I have the same worries myself, unless I expose some good port before I go to sleep on the cold, hard, ground.

 

[Oxkern]

Thanks for these. Plenty of things to investigate.

Oh it's not that cold! It's worse Actually looking like we might get snow if we're lucky! After Gettysburg I want cold.

150th Olustee in north Florida in February.Always a nice event and pretty well attended.On the battlefield as well.I heard that the BGA gave up on a 150th Franklin,but its still early.
Personally, would love to see a huge effort for a sort of Overland thing,including Wilderness,Spots,and Yellow Tavern.I heard rumors of a 150th Trevilian Station.

A few 150th events coming up next year: Bermuda Hundred Campaign (semi-immersive, invite only), Atlanta Campaign (mainstream), Wilderness/Spotsylvania (mainstream), Resaca (mainstream), Pickett's Mill (immersive). Rear Rank Productions is going to be putting on a New Market Heights/2nd Deep Bottom event on sometime in September as well.

So Kevin, did you enjoy the cool weather this weekend? You know I have to tease you a bit.

I don't think there will be a 150th Battle of Franklin.
