This year celebrating the bicentennial of the War of 1812.
There will be celebrations continuing in 2013 and 2014.
This year I attended the twilight event at 7PM on an overcast rainy day.

There have been celebrations in my community too, but I haven't been able to attend them.
Terrific pics!
Hi Rosemary, I tried to leave a comment before, but my computer got persnickety and made me leave, lol. What a realistic reenactment, it looks so real. Around here, we have groups that depict fur traders and pioneers, but they don't put on this sort of a show. I bet it was amazing to see first-hand.
The summer is really winding down, isn't it? It's been a strange gardening season, so much drought. At least it is raining here tonight which, though it's too late to make much difference in the gardens now, will help us in the long run. I actually hope we have a lot of snow this winter. We need the moisture! (Of course I say that now, wait until we're six feet under a snowbank and I'll be whistling a different tune, lol!)
Hi Rosemary,
Beautiful photos of this great event! I have a friend who does these types of re-enactments. She makes her own costumes and everything. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Hi Rosemary, I would have loved to have been there- not in reality-I'd have hate to see men killed- but to get a real sense of our history.
Fun! I'd love to see a re-enactment some day.
