Is anyone headed to fort de chartes March 30-April 1 for the musket and rifle frolic? I will be going solo and think it would be nice to catch up with any of the folks here on the forum that will be attending.
 
I plan to be there Friday night and Saturday.

I will probably camp near the Dutch Rats, just outside the fort walls, west of french slum. :grin:

It is a great time with lots of good people in attendence. It is without doubt the most historically correct event in the Ill/MO area, although there are a few persistent problems with correctness with a few particpants.

That said, the trade fair is still an excellent event.

A word of caution to anyone in the area who may want to visit the trade fair in period clothing, If you are not pre-registered and juried, you will not be allowed into the event.

Visiting in street clothing is OK.

My family and I will be in the French "slum" from Friday on. Should have a few goods laid out for sell? I will win the rifle this year! :hmm:
