A sad sign of the times, it seems to me.

Yes, many will make light of this because it wasn't a "quality " event but the ramifications will be severe. Cannot imagine sutlers, spectators, food vendors, local businesses and reenactors word-wide will not suffer. What annual events are left ? New Market, Perryville, Port Hudson. Is that all?

When I heard this I had the same reaction as when I heard Doris Day had died. A moment earlier I had no idea either of them were still alive.

This made me chuckle.

While I'm sure something equally terrible will pop up to take its place, and some folks who like to call themselves "campaigners" but really just like burning powder will plan an adjunct, there is an awesome AUTHENTIC Gettysburg Campaign alternative planned for next year: SILENT MACHINES!
