Set up day is Friday August 31st.
NO INGROUND Fires. All fires will be above ground and far enough off the ground to not burn anything and leave no marks. We will take every precaution to not start a fire. Fires and candles/oil lanterns will NOT be left unattended. There is a mandatory 24 hour fire watch. All fires will have buckets of water and a shovel. If you have a fire extinguisher bring it.
Artillery: take extra precautions on the battle field. Have buckets of water, shovels, wet burlap.
Infantry and Cavalry: Take full canteens and extra if you have them.
ALL garbage needs to be put in the dumpster. DO NOT put your garbage in the small cans these are for the public. All of us need to be responsible for garbage clean up. If you see it on the ground pick it up. There is NO ONE to help with garbage beside ourselves. If a garbage can is full take the bag to the dumpster. We will have extra bags.
The clubs water tanks will be onsite. There is no other running water on the field. Bring buckets or water jugs. You can fill them up in the parking lot too. The water tanks will only be filled after public hours and more like after 5:30 pm. It is recommended to bring water if you can. The water at the fairgrounds is good, I used it when we were at the fair.
You are welcome to stay over Monday evening. But there will not be any water tanks available. They need to be emptied Monday after the event closes so people can have there trailers back.
Fire wood is provided. Please DO NOT leave any unused or partially used firewood behind.
DO NOT dump any ashes in the grass or the dumpster/garbage cans. You will need to provide a way to dispose of them.
ALL DOGS must be leashed and tied/restrained at all times. There will not be any loose dogs at any club event anymore. The fairgrounds is very strict on this and said we can have them as long as they are leashed and tied. If there is a loose dog you will be asked to leave the event and or animal control will be called.
There is still modern RV and tent sites available. Rv sites have power only hook ups. The fee for RV camping is $30. 1 rv per site, I vehicle per site. This is in the public parking lot. There is NO tent camping in RV camping. Tent camping will be in the field, no hookups. Fee for tent camping is $20. Anyone camping in modern camping MUST be a paid member.
Anyone wanting to use power to charge phones, batteries, chairs, or what ever else will pay $5 for the weekend. This money will go to the fairgrounds for use of there power. You can pay this when you register.
EVERYONE needs to make sure you get registered upon arrival. Do not leave it go until Saturday morning after parade starts. Company commanders and Battalion commanders do not let anyone do parade, drill or battles without being registered first. CHECK event cards they will be blue this time.
The public is paying to see us. We need to give them what they came to see. That means stay in period clothing and have a period camp during public hours at least this goes for Monday as well. You will be asked to leave camps if you are not in period clothing during public hours.
Cars will be allowed in camps to pack up Monday after 2pm. This is to allow the public to leave so no one gets hurt. Also you are not a race car driver, you are not on a race track. You do not need to drive fast. You do not know where ruts, holes, bumps, grass clumps, tent ropes, people, kids, dogs or what ever else are all the time. SLOW DOWN. IF you are in that much of a rush stay home. You do not need to endanger everyone around you.
The Saloon will have food, beer, wine and cider. All alcohol bought from them MUST stay within there fenced area. DO NOT walk out of it with it. DO NOT bring your own up there. DO not go up there during public hours wanting to purchase alcohol they have been advised to not sell to reenactors during public hours since it is in our rules that there is NO alcohol during public hours. They have agreed to stay open after 5pm for us. Please go and support them (no I generally do not tell people to go drink).
If there are any problems, take them to your company commander first. They will know who to go to after that.
I will be there first contact at the event, so Jim can do his battalion duties. If you need something let me know. Registration will be in the 7th Michigan camp with my big tent.
Let us have a great event
