So many camps ... too few weekends
From the editor's lodge ...
May 21, 2012

I stayed close to home last
weekend a
t the Lost Arts
Festival at Seven Eagles in
Grand Rapids, Ohio
. We had a
great time! This one is a family
camp for me.

It would be great if
Seven Eagles
returned to its former glory. I've

seen pictures where there was hardly a place left camp. It's smaller now,
but still a beautiful place where the cricket frogs and bullfrogs sing you to
sleep every night ...

I looked at the last of events for last weekend and there were 12 ... yes 12
... within weekend driving distance for me. I think maybe these events
aren't getting the best attendance because people are being torn in many
directions.

*****
Time goes by quickly and I'm preparing for the summer print issue. If you
have anything you would like to contribute, contact me at
vicki@rendezvousohio.com or call me at 419-601-2495.

*****
The next print listing will be in the summer issue which comes out in June.
If you don't see your event listed,
contact me please.

If you have a special event related to the
War of 1812 bicentennial
please contact me ASAP. I would like to put together a list so everybody
knows about them.

There are still annual events without verified dates, so they remain
unpublished. Please check out the events pages. If your event isn't listed,
it means it hasn't been verified. I need updated information.
Please email
me any changes. If you need a copy of your 2011 listing, contact me.
Listings are free! If your event hasn't been listed in past years, please
send information for 2012. My goal is to create a complete list of non-
private pre-1840 living history events - rendezvous and reenactments. For
more information, click on the
"Submit Your Event" above.

Your rendezvous or reenactment can be anywhere in the United
States or Canada. Listings are no longer limited to the Ohio area.
The nation is divided into sections as you can see on the main events
page. (And advertising space is available on each page if you want to
reach a particular part of the country.)

Notes to pass along …

I received a request for a
volunteer to conduct a hawk & knife
program
in Dundee, Mich., at Cabela's June 9. The U.S. Sportmen's
Alliance is hosting a youth day and there will be several stations where
kids can try different sports like archery, fishing, air rifles, etc. They are
expecting 400-500 kids. If you or your group is interested, call Paul
Brooks at 419-722-8625. ... Also, please
email me so I know he found
someone. Thanks!! (He said he also might need someone in the Findlay
area later this year ...)

The mayor of North Lewisburg, Ohio, in Champaign County has
requested assistance is finding reenactors interested in camping during a
town event Aug. 17-19. Wood, water and hooters will be available, but
group members would organize themselves. For more information, contact
Jason Keeran, 937-537-0683 or 937-747-3645, mayor@nlewisburg.com.
