Hi to all Tophat here, So is anyone going to Ft Knox the weekend  of August 29th? I see that there are several events at the fort fairly close to each other.I will be headed North about that time and was wondering if it would be worth leaving the South a little sooner so that I could attend it with you.

 The other part of the question and the reason for my numbers request. This year I will be driving up and plan to have my trailer in tow, would it be worthwhile to bring the sutlery with me to set up at the fort?

I appreciate your assistance with this trip planning request!

Stay Safe!

Tophat

I didn't see much news on the event but the KJ had an article yesterday.

the norlands weekend seems to be turning out to be a good event, but in the forcast it is not so good, the weather channel predicts showers for both days, right after a very sunny friday. 40% chance on saturday and 30% on sunday,

Keep it in your prayers that it does'nt rain!

Shock of shocks as I was reading thru the current issue of the Civil War Times what do I see an add for the Norlands event! OUTSTANDING! Finally the reenactors of the great state of Maine have proclaimed their existance!

For years I had struggled to get information for Civil War events in Maine but I always seemed to run head on into that big iron wall that keeps us flat landers out!

last year I met up with the 15th Alalbama, an outstanding group of people, and found this site which is worth it's weight in gold! finally I have freinds and contacts in Maine. all of which have been great resources for the up coming events in the state, and today you have gone national!
