Re: Non battle reenactment
Ben,
I agree with most of the others who have posted before. At this point in the game, starting your own event may be a little over your head. However, if you have a good idea and want to pressure, best of luck to you. No one is stopping you.
Might I suggest, instead of creating your own event and having to deal with issues that may include insurance, property rights, ect, that you may try becoming a event contact/ coordinator for an event your unit will be attending. So instead of dealing with more complicating issues, you can ease into the process by getting people from your unit interested in an event, find out information your attendees need, organize rides, registering people, finding a company or battalion to fall in with ect. While this doesn’t sound like much work depending on the event it can be. This role is important if your unit is going to look respectable and know what is going on at an event. I have done this for my unit at events like McDowell and other more local ones and have learned a great deal about what it takes to put on an event with only a small slice of the work and frustration it must take to put on the whole event.
Another thought would be is find an event you feel passionate about, and see if the coordinators need help. Often sites need prep such as building fences, walls, ect. or brush removal and other things along this sort, and I would imagine another helping hand is welcome. This way too you get a hands on education on some of the prep involved.
Best of luck,
