Reenactor Update

Charter Bus Fund:

We are happy to announce that we will provide financial assistance for charter buses. Any group interested in organizing a charter bus to the event should contact the organizers for more information.

Horse Fund:

We will provide financial assistance for people bringing horses to help offset the excessive cost of gasoline when hauling a trailer full of horses. The Battle of the Hook was probably the largest cavalry engagement of the War so we want to have as many mounted troops as possible. It's our hope that assisting with the fuel cost will encourage all riders to attend. Contact us via e-mail for more information.

Artillery Powder Fund:

We will be providing a powder allowance to artillery units to help offset the cost of gunpowder.

School Program Update:

Friday, October 17, 2008 is designated as the "School Day" for the Battle of the Hook event. Reenactors will visit area schools in small groups to bring the American Revolution to life. We are looking for volunteers who can be on site starting Friday morning for this special program. We can furnish each volunteer with an outline, and other materials in advance. Volunteers are needed — please e-mail us if you would like more information.
