Summer is winding down ... Get ready for a busy fall!
From the editor's lodge ...
Aug. 22, 2010
Hello everyone! This week it's time for
school to start for the new year. That
means it's time for me to write my annual
letter to the principals requesting all the
days off my kids need to partake in living
history events. I don't know about
everybody else, but my school
administration thinks it's great. I always
write the letter to avoid truancy issues,
and this year I'm sending photos
because they requested some last year.
I must get the fall print edition finished
and ready for the printer by Monday, so I
can have it ready for you by Labor Day
weekend.

I got a request via Facebook from Loren Hughes of Kings Forge and
Muzzleloading for people who might be interested in operating their own
living history business at the American Revolutionary War Living
History Experience in the Carolinas.
Loren says, "I am the Armorer for the ARWLHC and we are actively
looking for people that would like to own their own business in the
Center. We are hoping to have the center up and running by next year in
the Carolinas and both states are vying for the Center to be in their state.
All we are sure of at the moment is that it will be in the Kings Mountain
area."

Dave Martin of the Buckeye Heritage Festival, Defiance, Ohio, is looking
for rendezvous participants in next May's event. Martin, also president of
the Defiance County Fair Board, said the group has a three-year lease
for the event on the fairgrounds. In it's first year this year, he said the
Native American gathering and pow-wow portion were a success, but
organizers would like to expand it into a "frontier-type rendezvous." A Boy
Scout Jamoree is also planned as part of the event. I'm not sure if he
wanted me to post him email address, so let me know if you're interested
and I'll pass it along his contact info privately.

I need pictures from events I'm not able to attend. I can only be one
place at a time, and I would like to include photos in the print editions
from a variety of places. Please include people in most of the pictures,
but some scenery is good too. Email them to me, along with the location,
the event name and the names of the people in the picture.

The start of a website is posted for next year's Old Northwest at
Caesar's Creek Pioneer Village near Waynesville, Ohio, (south of
Dayton). Dates are June 24-July 2, 2011. I'm the scribe, so prepare to
hear a lot about it. It's my first time on staff and I'm looking forward to it.
Check out the website here. Let me know if you have any suggestions for
additions.
