There you go.  Have fun storming the other side.

Answer 2

Check with your local chamber of commerce - they usually have a list of organizations that perform or parade for holidays and celebration.

You could also check with your County Veteran's Office = they may be able to put you in contact with a group.

They are all over = keep asking = someone will be able to give you a contact.

Enjoy yourself - my brother-in-law has been active for years - he and my sister attend many functions and camp outs for re-enactments in full uniforms, and her in period dress.

Here is a site that tells you all about what to expect in an reenactment group:
