If the LH is held in conjunction with the summer or fall battle, there will be a large contingent of reenactors and spectators and pretty good sized battle. I have been to 20-30 events at Cedar Creek and invariably, the battles tend to look and feel about the same, regardless of the battle being portrayed. It is a great to maneuver large groups and the terrain masks opposing sides except when marching or forming on the skyline. If you have never been, I would recommend going at least once. I prefer the fall event (which can be chilly) over the near 100' heat of the summer event.
