Get registered for the next July event!

July 21-23, 2017
Oglebay State Park - Wheeling, WV
Non-Spectator Event

Hot on the heels go the Gettysburg Anniversary is the West Virginia-Style Tactical. This event was so well received last year that we decided to do it again! This time it will be held in West Virginia!

Hosted by Birney's Division (Union) and the ANV (Confederate), this event is open to all members of established organizations (proof of insurance required).

A "West Virginia" style tactical is a judged, unit-based, multi-layered series of problem solving scenarios in addition to engagements with enemy forces. CIVILIANS play a MAJOR part in these scenarios!

Media help for Hale Farm

Hale Farm and Village is looking for a few military reenactors who would be interested in appearing on several live segments of the Fox 8 morning show in order to help promote the Civil War reenactment on August 13th and 14th. The segments will start at 6 am, Friday August 12th and go until 8 am. These will be broadcast live from Hale Farm. If you are interested, please contact Chris Smith at clsmith@5thohio.com as soon as possible and he will put you in touch with the appropriate staff at Hale Farm.

Help us try a reenacting experiment

Hale Farm and Village in August has been selected as a major event for the 2016 Birney's Division season. We are going to try an experiment to see if there is a better way to get a head count of all of the Birney's Division members attending reenactments using Eventbrite. Again, this is JUST a head-count and NOT registration for the actual event. You will find event registration detail on the page at the link below.

You can list just yourself as well as your family and/or other members of your unit (make sure they are not already listing themselves). The form should also be used by any non-Birney's units who plan to fall in with the organization during the weekend.

Please help us make this Roll Call experiment work by ensuring that all of those attending Hale Farm with Birney's take a few minutes to go to www.BirneysHFV2016.eventbrite.com and get on the roster today!
