• The Hour gets it wrong again

    What a great shot, particularly since it illustrates exactly how many people actually attended this event! There were at least twice as many people there on Sunday as were there on Saturday – a great many of them returnees from Saturday’s program – and this photo shows only one area of the battlefield. Obviously there were far more than the “100″ people The Hour claimed attended the event on Saturday. Having been one of them, I can attest that there were at least a thousand people there on Saturday, and double that on Sunday. Never rely on The Hour to report anything correctly.

    Ummm…I was there also and it was hardly a thousand people. A decent amount on Sunday…but let’s not exaggerate. Instead, why not learn form the experience about what to do better for the next reenactment.

    I commend the effort of all involved (especially the reenactors who always put their heart and soul into it) but it seems to have failed to attract enough reenactors – especially on the British side — to make the battle simulations work as wellas they could.

    Always got to be a detractor somewhere.

    thanks for the video-I missed this day and now can experience some of the excitement!

    Many thanks to Pete Bondi and his assistants in putting this together. The participants I saw on Saturday said it was well planned and that the setting was perfect, on the original site of the British landing. The camp had entire families in period garb, cooking authentic meals over wood fires. One family even had a 3 year old in original costume, but I saw he had a 21st century time-out for misbehaving.

    This was great until Dr. Moore came out and yelled at both sides of the war and both the British and Patriot forces quit and wen to other schools . . . .

    #5 – No way. Did that psycho really come out and end the battle? Details, please!

    Sadly enough I was only kidding. I could not pass up the chance to make a joke about people leaving west rocks to go to other schools. I mean it does happen every year.
