Optional Activities

Living History Village -

As an added element of interest, part of Cassidy Village will be turned into a living history section filled with French civilians.

We need people to come in and become part of the atmosphere at the event. Can you help? We want your displays, signs, and other props to help it become a European city. The R&R area will be allocated for this purpose. E-mail the Event Staff as soon as possible and let us know what you can bring.

Church Service -

We are looking for someone to conduct a Church service on Saturday morning before the battle.

Baseball Game -

A baseball game is in the planning stages for Friday afternoon starting at 17:00. Bring your period glove and bat. If you can loan them for others to use, even better. Contact Steven Thomas to participate. Vintage gloves can be purchased here - http://www.pasttimesports.biz/baseball.html‏.

Movie Showing -

There will be a Friday night movie at the combat village near the period camps. Mike Sears of British 7th Para will be bringing his 16mm projector and equipment. First on the bill is a 15 minute 1943 US Army training film on map reading. The main feature is the 1941 Bob Hope classic "Caught in the Draft". If there is enough interest, we may show a 3rd film.
