for your unit to earn free income, before the start of the next
years events. All memberships turned into the club membership

not per application.

RE: Civil War Reenactment at Kearney Park
October 1 Time Travelers
October 2 & 3 The Civil War Revisited
Greetings from Kearney Park! Thanks
to the help of so many of you, plans are falling into place for
October. We’re excited and hope you are too. We’ve
had lots of good questions come our way over the past few weeks.
We thought it might be helpful if we shared a few with you.
Is the event an invitational? Yes, it is. We decided to move to
the invitational
format so that multiple clubs could come together to plan and
stage the weekend.
Is there a planning committee? There is and you are welcome to
be part of it. You are also welcome to send along any ideas you
have that you think might make
for a better event.
Who will be “in charge” of the event? As is always
the case, the responsibility will be shared by several people.
Event Host Fresno Historical Society (Carole Lester &
Jill Moffat)
Event Coordinator Charles Henry, CWRS
Confederate Command Chris Bowman, ACWA
2nd in command Mike McKinsey, NCWA
Union Command Tom Bispo, ACWA
2nd in command: Joe Fiffick, NCWA
Military Hospital Andy Hill, CWRS
Civilian Camp Jennifer Roger, NCWA
Time Travelers School Day Sharon Hiigel, Fresno Historical Society
Keith Bowles, NCWA
Will there be powder reimbursements? Yes, there will be and we’ll
be in touch with artillery units about the details.
If you have other questions that you would like to chat with us
about or suggestions you would like to share, please don’t
hesitate to get in touch with us. We welcome your ideas and appreciate
so much all your enthusiasm and expertise. We’re having
fun pulling together a number of gifts for a “reenactor
give-away” . . . . and think we’ve found a group of
young musicians you’ll enjoy . . .all acoustic and very
talented.
Looking forward to seeing you in October and working with you
to make
the event the best ever!

Reenacting
Community,
We are within the 30 day window for this event
so this is a quick note to remind everyone about the HB
Civil War Days reenactment
Sept. 4th and 5th.
Always looked forward to, this event needs little or no advertising.
The reenactor turnout puts this event in the top three of
the year, and the spectator numbers require them to get there
early to
get a place to watch.
This event is an invitational event, open to reenactors from
any organization, and those participating as independents.
Your participation enables the Historical Society to continue
hosting this quality event. Comfortable weather in the midst
of a metropolitan area, yet, in a park setting, has all the
ingredients for a great weekend.
There is now a separate web site (http://hbcivilwar.webs.com/
) that
provides: · Updates· Event flyer
· Parking Pass· Reenactor and Civilian Forms/Registration·
Organizations and Non-Profit Group forms· Sutler Forms
Since the HBHS has a website for their event, it is my understanding
they are no longer sending out individual emails or USPS registration
forms in advance of the event.
The exact time reenactors can enter the park has yet to be
determined. The time is controlled by the park maintenance
personnel and as soon as a time is determined it will be posted
to the http://hbcivilwar.webs.com/
website.
Do not arrive on the park property earlier than the arrival
time (to be posted). Any reenactor other than Col. Settle
or Col. Harrington that enters the park early, will be asked
to leave the event. The park is not going anywhere and we
will not start the event without you so there is no need to
cause any problems regarding this by sneaking into the park
early.
Please be mindful of the irrigation sprinklers and that no
one is to drive on the grass. Each year the HBHS has to pay
the park for damaged irrigation sprinklers. This is money
better left to the HBHS for their important work.
The Huntington Beach Historical Society and Huntington Beach
Park work very hard to provide you a well organized and friendly
event. Your cooperation is appreciated in advance.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact
me.
I look forward to seeing everyone there for a great
2009 Huntington Beach event.
