We will be placing a group order for foot ware and a few other personal items you may wish to have of your own.

Saturday and Sunday we will participate in battle reenactments. Sunday afternoon, we will break camp, and relocate to a facility with showers for the night. We should be home in the early afternoon on Monday.
