Why a Non Spectator Event?

Many of you may be questioning why this national event would be a non-spectator event? There are a few very good reasons why the first being that no one is willing to finance the old mega events of the past they being too costly to provide the logistics necessary to support the pubic attending the event. Another reason is the cost of liability insurance to cover this type of event as we all know these types of coverage’s have literally skyrocketed since 9 / 11, frankly it makes it too risky for investors especially with the sharp decline of the numbers of re-enactors still active in the hobby today. The non-spectator event becomes more prominent each year due to these and many other factors.

There are many great advantages to the non-spectator events that we support. One of the biggest reasons is the events are put on for re-enactors by re-enactors. They are not profit driven rather 100% of the proceeds are for preservation. Some of the huge advantages are; the schedule will be run much earlier in the day so the families are given ample time to go tour local attractions, shop, or participate in planned on site activities. There are no exotic rules other than the usual rules of safety used at all MAIN STREAM events. There is no rabid event staff to make your life miserable from the time you hit site. The families are permitted to camp on the company streets if they desire. We maintain a period impression throughout the weekend and the pace is far less demanding. It is reenacting the way it should be.

The object of these events are to put the fun back in the hobby and turn it around and make it grow again by being family friendly, top quality, and just good old fashion fun without all the hardships that a spectator event produces. If you haven’t tried this format you are missing a great time. Come out and enjoy, this one is for us, the re-enactors.
