Master List of Reenacting Events??

Good day,

I read now and then about people looking for a "master list" of events. Here are my thoughts on that:

~ Far and away the best resource is the newspaper Smoke and Fire News, which is published monthly by Smoke and Fire (sutlers). This covers the entire country, and it includes a large number of time periods (including a generic "early American" which is for events such as rendezvous with wider time frames than just F&I or Rev). The newspaper costs a mere $18/yr which is $1.50 per month (cheaper if you sign up for more than one year at a time), and that is really worth it. It also includes a lot of advertising so you can find sutlers and resources.

~ Another good site but one which focuses on events for the F&I War, is the War For Empire website. They have a calendar of events, and while it seems to be a bit PA-centric, I think it will be helpful. I don't know anything about who runs it or how they get their info.

~ Another idea obviouysly is to go to the websites of popular forts and historic sites and visit their calendar of events. I have several listed here and am happy to add more.

I know there are events out there that do not show up on any "big" list and I will try to capture some that might be of interest by creating a dedicated web page. If you want to send me something to put on my website -- when I get that page done -- please do by making a comment here.

YH&OS,
