F&I Event @ Ft Massac
Information for reenactors:
May 10&11, 2008
French can be billeted in the barracks of the Fort if
desired. Tent areas have been set aside for French, British
and Native forces.
Straw is available $3.50 a bale. Firewood is provided by
the site.
The Massac Marines will provide the meat for the Saturday
evening meal for reenactors. We request everybody bring a side dish. A
dessert contest will be held that evening as well. The
winner will receive a prize. Judges will be appointed at
Officer's call Saturday morning.
The Massac Marines will host a tavern for reenactors in the North West
bastion Saturday evening. Come and enjoy the fellowship
regardless of your affiliation.
A battle will be held Saturday @ 3pm and Sunday @ 1pm. A
prayer service will be held Sunday morning at 9:15.
Officer's call will be in the Officer's billet @ 8am each
morning. Flags will be raised in camps at 9am. We will
open to the public from 10am to 4pm.
If you request a billet in the barracks, please give me a
head count. I will try to put units together in @ least two
rooms; however, there may be some merging to put everyone in
the fort.
I do not need names for the pre-registration, just the
number that will attend.
Your humble Servant,
John Ward
