My fellow reenactors,
Take a look at the accompanying photo. Tom's Farms has added breastworks for the Confederate side of the field this year, the "Petersburg" look I referred to earlier.
I am happy to report that it appears that the weather will be excellent this weekend.
Tom's Farms will offer a 15% discount on food and beverages to reenactors in period attire this weekend. We'll have coupons available at the event.
So come on out and join us on Saturday for the last show battle event of 2016 in Southern California. We'll be having a great time!

My fellow reenactors,
Our 4th annual event at Tom's Farms is the weekend after next, October 15-16. Come join us for the last show battle event of the year! The crowds have always been large and the weather has always been great at the event.
I am happy to report that Tom's Farms will be adding a second breastworks, so that each side will have them this year. Think Petersburg!
Firewood and hay will be provided, but horsemen need to let me know what their requirements are concerning hay. Minors, if your parent will not be at the event, please have one of them sign a release/waiver before you leave home. You can download one on this web site.
So come on and join us for a great time at the 2016 reenactment finale at Tom's Farms!
