What about Gilmor's Raid 2007? You'll need fresh shoes on your horses for that one, boys!

In the East in 2007 there'll be the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania NMP living history in May, one near Winchester Va. (opposing forces) in July, and one on part of the Fredericksburg battlefield in the autumn (to be officially announced soon). The "New York Death March" (formerly the Elmira Death March) will be held on a new site in central New York State in September.
Also, look for the four-day-long "Winter 1864" in February 2008, in western New York State.Comment

Darrin, not sure what the point of your post might be. If you are looking for events to attend, please see this thread.

Re: Top Events of 2007?
Personally, and really personally, I am voting for September Storm, the 145th MD Campaign. Those who had a good time at Summer of '62 will also enjoy this event, and as always trying some new twists to add to the experience.
But then again I am somewhat involved with it. Kinda.

Without a doubt, the best place online to find information about quality events is the Event Subforum on the ever handyOff Topic Boys Forum. Living where you do in Tennessee, the good news is your travel time to a good number of great events is relatively brief. Seeking out the WIG, MOOCOWS, Hard Case Boys, and other fine folks in your area is also a good plan to find quality efforts.
Good luck.[B]Charles Heath[/B]

Re: Top Events of 2007?
Tell me more about that one. I like to go out and visit Conner Prairie (the museum itself), but the event for 2006 unfortunately looked like a typical mainstream one from the Camp Chase listing: "Activities will include living history, reenactment, demonstrations, citizen activities, a judged tactical and an evening dance. A separate camp area for progressive units will be available. Conner Prairie will provide firewood, straw, water and the Saturday evening meal."Originally posted by Union Navy
What's the new potential to put it in the running for a top event next year?

We probably ought to have asked Darrin what he considers to be "a top event." I say that in all seriousness, too.[B]Charles Heath[/B]

Re: Top Events of 2007?
Hey, I'm serious! :) I really do have optimism for the "turn things around," "carpe eventum" potential of small events. And I would like an excuse to go out to Conner Prairie again. Saw their 1880s section for the first time a couple years ago, and it was cool.
On the other hand, I would like an answer.

Mr. Trent,
I have a friend who works at Conner Prairie and she has told me they are considering an small scale/quality Civil War event.

Now, pony up a link about the Olustee Campaigner Adjunct. Sister is retiring and moving down there come Christmas. While normally we would not lift a finger to go to Olustee, free room and board, a campsite already staged, and her husband picking us up at the airport does have its attractions......and we've like to at least wave at somebody.Terre Hood Biederman
