Wes,

For the October event we are only having a Confederate adjunct company. Keep checking back as we hope to have more information coming soon about an event at the same site early in the spring with openings for both federal and confederate.

Greg,

After what I heard about the event this year, I plan on going next year. I'd like to be a part of the campaigner contingent.

Derrick,
Thanks for the intrest. Keep watching the post. Sean Cooper and I are working on research and standards for the fall confederate company. We are also putting together a spring tactical event. Standards will be set as well with researched fed and confed units. Keep watching. Sean has some good stuff for the federal side and it looks like some yellow hammers might be showing themselves for the confederate side.

Thanks for the intrest.

Greg, you don't realize just how many times while attending the University of Tenn, I sat up on 17th St and wished for at least a replica of Ft. Sanders. This is a great example of the ANV boys in action out west. I will be at this event, only if there will be trip wire and tree stumps. Count me in!!

Wes,
We meet this weekend with the event committee. Sean and I will set up a list of the local authentics who want to be involved and we will all get together at some point to discuss. I am sure we will need a crew to plant stumps in prep for all of the telegraph wire needed!! Looking forward to it all.
Happy Thanksgiving, youins!
