News on 5th OVI event in July

Fellow Re-enactors,

I would like to remind you about the Civil War Days at Thunder Valley Stables in McKean, PA on July 29-31. The early registration cutoff date is July 1st and is fast approaching. The cost is $7.00 for persons twelve and over. After that date, the late and walk-on fee is $10.00.

This is an event put on soley by re-enactors; and we try very hard to be re-enactor friendly. The grounds are very picturesque and have almost no modern intrusions. It's only a few minutes from the I-79 McKean exit.

The Federal Commander will be myself and the Confederate Commander will be Colonel Jim Finnegan of the 5th VA and Tri-state. Each year, we donate a portion of our proceeds to historic preservation. There are several activities planned for both military and civilian reenactors. Battles will be held both days. A game of rounders in the morning, in the afternoon a period wedding, horse drawn wagon tours, and an evening ball are scheduled for Saturday.

Sunday, we'll be holding our popular judged tactical in the morning to test your units skills with other things to do throughout the morning and early afternoon. I hope you will consider attending. Our event's web site is: www.geocities.com/civilwardays. On it you may download the registration form, event rules, directions to the event, and the schedule of activities.

We hope to see you there!

Respectfully,
Paul D. Baltzer
Lt. Colonel
1st Battalion
Birney's Division
