Mayby I should have specified "150,000 spectators". Actual participants
would probably be several hundred, because they also have a very large
revolutionary battle reenactment. There are possibly 200 people involved in
that alone.

I live not too far from Friendship, IN, where the NMLRA nationals are held,
and of course you know how many show up there. Also there's the " Feast of
the Hunter's Moon" in Lafayette, IN, where there are about 100,000
spectators show up each day for this two day event in October.

We of course have the small local groups that have the more "traditional"
less commercial 'Voos, but, only family and friends are all that usually
show up for those. I was talking about the one's that a person might want to
drive a couple hundred miles and take his family to. The success of these is
gaged by the # of spectators.

I don't know the number of actual number of participants, but usually if you
get that many people in attendance, there's enough involved to put on a good
show. It's also a good place tho pick up some supplies because most of the
major traders show up.

Sorry about the misunderstanding.
Barry

Joe,

I'm not sure if I've ever met Kat Hargus.  I don't really know anything=
 about
her or her business.

I am certain I know "Lame Bear."  I used to trade with him,  20 years ago. =
=20

I would send my money to Kat, even if the shirt cost more. =20

In a message dated 98-04-21 14:24:27 EDT, you write:

<< we're looking for rendezvous in the OH, PA, IN, MI, VA areas..
 anyone know anything coming up, or have a list of them?  thanx
 Dejavous
  >>

For me to list them all would cause carple tunnel syndrom, I'm serious there
are more re-inactments and rendezvous in that part of the country then anyone
can get to.  NMLRA has one west of Pittsburg Sept 24-Oct 3rd.  Great North
American Rendezvous is also outside of Pitt Sep 11th - 19th.  Whispering Pines
is Aug 14-16th thats in north central Pa.

But your best bet is to get a copy of:

Smoke & Fire News
P.O. Box 166
Grand Rapids Oh 43522
419-832-0303
Yearly Subscription is $18 and well worth it for the best listing of events
you will find for Early American, F&I, Rev War, War of 1812, Rendezvous Fur
Trade, Medival, Civil War and great articles to boot.  The March 1998 issue
lists 68 events under the Early American heading in the Indiana, Ohio, Pa area
alone.  So for all of you looking for info on events I can't recommend this
publication enough it is a great source of info.

If you are anywhere near NE Ohio you can usually get a copy of Smoke & Fire at
the Log Cabin Shop in Lodi Oh.  Great place to leave your retirement money if
you like to shop for black powder and re-inactment supplies.

Hello Joe,

I just received a war shirt, britches and two cotton shirts from Lame Bear at
Medicine River Trading Post.  The war shirt is outstanding!  The cotton shirts
were very nice and fit perfectly.  I am sure Kat does good work too, but I have
first hand knowledge of Lame Bear's work and it is absolutely beautiful!  He was
very helpful to me and made exactly what I asked for.  Lame Bear gets my highest
recommendation.  http://www.medicineriver.com/
