I've updated the re-enactor page with everyone that we know are registered. Please check it and make sure we know you are coming. Some of our eras are expanding, so we'll need to shift the layout a little to make sure everyone fits in well.

We'll put up flags to mark out boundaries on Wednesday.

Each reenactor should register at the ticket booth upon arrival (if no one is at the table, check-in after you setup). We have medical forms and need to keep track of who is on the field. Thank you for your cooperation!

The Union Leader is looking for some people to interview. I'll be talking to him on the phone, but he would like to get some Q&A from re-enactors as well. He suggested that written might be the best - is anyone willing to answer some questions for the story?
