I'm getting many inquiries about the event and requests for specific structures. The registration form has been available but never "officially" announced so here ya go. Registration is open! All but the Zapp-Von Rosenberg house have been requested and are on hold pending registration. There are still plenty of rooms available though in the Muckelroy and the Schumann II. Registration information is available at http://www.txcwcivilian.org/id7.html

If you have a question about accommodations, please let me know.

Large snafu for this event. The site we have been using has been sold and is no longer available to us. I am in the process of finding another site; hopefully will have things firmed up by next week.

Annette, I hate to hear that, we were very much looking forward to getting back down there in May. I guess not only us but the ROT guys are affected as well. Sad news let me know if I can help.

Yeah. I'm pretty bummed. Went into mourning for a week. The new site will be a bit different, but I think will offer some opportunities, especially for the militia, that Henkel did not.

Annette,
You should have let us burn the town when we had the chance.

LOL. You wouldn't have gotten very far with the fire department across the street :)

Re: Henkel Square 2011: Into the Fray

We have a new home for this event; Pioneer Farms in Austin, Texas. The website will be updated soon with the new information.

Re: Henkel Square 2011: Into the Fray

The deadline for housing registration is coming up at the end of this month. We still have a few spots for individuals. If you are militia, don't need housing or plan to come out for the day, the registration deadline is May 10. Information about the event can be found at http://www.txcwcivilian.org/henkel.html

Good to hear you're still as light hearted as always Tom !!

I've decided to model my retirement on you.
