Latest update, February 24, 2008

We have no upcomming events planned at this time.

The location at Howell's Encampment has been wonderful, and while it is possible that some future event may be planned, at this time we are not producing any events.

Some of the locals in the south-central Montana area may gather around Labor Day for a small, private camp (no public) and if you are interested in participating just give us a shout and we'll let you know what's been decided.

If there are to be any future events, they won't happen without "A Few Good Reenactors" to help out. If you have the gumption to take on the responsibility for organizing a rendezvous, get in touch with us and perhaps we can make it happen.

Our focus is on the serious reenactor. Those are the people who we hold this camp for, and that's who we listen to.
We like to dress up in our best and love to see others doing the same.
We like to set up a clean camp with interesting authentic gear, and we love to see other camps that are nicely done.
We appreciate exceptional trade goods.
We also love to attend seminars given by knowledgeable speakers.
