REENACTOR INFORMATION

I am pleased do announce our fourth year at the Thousand trails RV park in Acton. This is a great site with plenty of shade and green grass to camp and do battle on. In typical California tradition there will be water in the cement ponds and stream.

NOTE: The June Acton event may be subject to a "charcoal only" fires restriction. Be prepared and flexible to take this into account if the fire dept changes the fire conditions.

           

Horses:    Are permitted. We will have hay available. Need to know if you are coming.

Artillery: Room for four cannons per side.

 Food:       Will be sold on site, last year the lines were quite long in their cafeteria for Saturday night but the food was outstanding and fairly priced. They are planning their turkey legs B-B-Q again. There are restaurants in Acton just a short drive away and fast food at the freeway interchange

 Dance:     Saturday night is on with the Occasion strings and our own Tom Atkins calling.

 Sutlers:    All are invited and there is plenty of flat shady space.

Non ACWS members are invited, provided they belong to one of the associations that have liability insurance.

RV parking:There is some free RV parking available Contact Paul De Nubilo [email protected] if you wish to bring an RV

 Directions: From Highway 14, take the Crown Valley Rd South to Acton. Pass through Acton, cross the tracks, bear right at the Y, go under the bridge and the park is on the left. Look for the entry sign.

 Camps: Currently we are planning the same camp locations as last year.

 Civilian Programs: Please let me know what civilian programs need to be added to the schedule.

Attendance:   Please contact your brigade command, civilian coordinator
