We may have some room in large tents if you bring a cot. Contact the Event Staff ahead of time. Women will sleep in separate sleeping quarters but you must bring a cot.

Vendor Fees:

Vendors must reserve the limited table space before the event by contacting the Event Staff. You must also pre-register and pay the Vendor Event Fee. If you are a Combatant as well as a Vendor, you must pay the higher Combatant Event Fee. The cost for an inside table is $15. All vendors may set up outside for free (bring your own tables and tents) but you must pay the event fee. Period vendors may set up in the village and sell items that would be seen in WWII France. You must commit to staying for the whole Saturday battle. No tables or chairs will be available at the town. We would like to see someone set up a French restaurant. E-mail the Event Staff if you are interested.

Vehicles:

Anyone who brings a running period vehicle, including civilian types, will receive compensation as long as it is used during the entire Saturday battle.

- Motorcycles and ¼ ton vehicles – Event Fee waived

- ½ ton and larger – Event Fee waived and fuel allowance, if you are willing to shuttle people at the event (Contact Event Staff)

- Field guns that are original or accurate reproductions (no PVC) that fire blanks – Event Fee waived

All vehicles, except motorcycles, are required to have a stocked first aid kit and a working fire extinguisher to be used by ANYONE in need during the event. The Event Staff will replace any used supplies for free, if requested by the vehicle owner. Red flags will be given to all vehicles at Registration. Use them when the vehicle has been knocked out of action. The Event Staff will also provide trash bags to vehicle owners to help keep the training area clean. Vehicles must be first checked for authenticity, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, insurance, and brakes at Registration. We are asking vehicle owners to stage drinking water on board for everyone's use.

There is a huge parking area at Camp Hinsch and plenty of space out near the village, so large transport trailers and trucks are fine.

Any fuel allowance checks will be issued at the end of the Saturday battle.
