For those of us in and around the Philadelphia area I offer the
following..
In trying to find site to do Span-Am stuff, on Tuesday I placed a
call to Ft.Mott State Park,in southern New Jersey. The site director
was very positive about having Span-Am living history at the fort. I
was told if I can gather a handfull of folks that we could get a date
and have a living history event. Drill,interpreting for the public,
blank firing rifle demos and whatever else we want to do. So, does
this sound good to anyone?
A litte about Ft.Mott...
Was part of the coastal defence fort build up prior to the war
with Spain. Was used up till 1922. Transfered to the State of New
Jersey to become a state park in the 1940's
It is a really cool site and I think perfect for living history. I
tried to get a full blown Span-Am tactical weekend at a site in
Pennsylvania, but to many issues were coming up.
So,what i need now, is for anyone/unit that is interested to speak
up. U.S Forces,Spanish,Cuban, if you have a kit, you can come out. I
can then get back to the director and hash out a date. Right now
early June is what I'll shoot for. Responed on or off list.
Yrs,
