      Going to be pretty odd with Campaigners as the majority at an adjunct to a mainstream event. Maybe you can swing by Selma and find Amy.

            Just hearing the word Fort gets me excited. Here are some pics I found. Also interesting to see MI heavy artillery there.

              This event still needs federals.

              We have put together a Federal campaign company. If you are a campaigner and plan to register yourself, look for us when you get there. We may have a few spots if some don't make it.

              If you prefer to do Confederate, they also need Confederate infantry. A company size (20-30) would be great.

              You will not be disappointed in this event site.

                    It was a ok event. If somebody really worked at it, it would be a GREAT event.

                        Yeah Rocky was there, he was the slack ass platoons early morning wake up call on Saturday. Had a chance to talk with him and some of his buddies Sunday and are all great guys. Look forward to seeing them at some campaigner only events where I actually do something.

                        Blakely was what it was. It was a mainstream event with campaigners tossed about, but I had a blast hanging out with folks and really doing nothing of any value or function. The fed company was great!
