Come and see the Battalion in action this weekend at the annual Feast of St. Claire in Port Huron Michigan.  I’ll let the event’s official site describe it…

“Every year a special committee of the Port Huron Museum of Arts and History presents a living re-enactment of 18th centry life on Memorial Day weekend. This Open to the Public event consists of over 600 re-enactors with more than 100 colonial style camps set up in beautiful Pine Grove Park (on the St Clair river) in Port Huron, Michigan. This year will be the 31st consecutive year for this very informative and educational event.”

Come check us out if your looking for something to do this weekend.  Its worth braving the weather for.

This weekend the Battalion will be turning out for new recruits at the Kalamazoo Living History Show.  We have revamped our booth for 2011 so if your in the area, stop by and check us out.  The show is located Kalamazoo County Expo Center, 2900 Lake Street, Kalamazoo Mi, and runs on Saturday March 19th and 20th from 9 to 5.

Here is a neat video of last year’s Stoney Creek Event.  Those gentlemen in the blue coats are mighty handsome if I do say so myself.

In three days time, this will be British territory

The Battalion just completed another successful event and had another great weekend at the Feast of St. Clair.  The heat was tolerable and the event organizers and the city of Port Huron are always nice to us.  It was a great start to a new season of re-enacting.  In addition to the dedication of the new battalion colors (see below) I hope to post some more pictures as they come in.

The next event for the Battalion is the Feast of the Strawberry Moon on Harbor Island in Grand Haven, Michigan.  The Feast of Strawberry Moon takes place on Saturday June 12th and Sunday June 13th.  You can find out more and see a gallery of past Strawberry Moon pictures at the Tri-Cities Historical Museum website.

Beautiful weather for a bit of skirmishing with the French.
