This is a combined CL and BB event, involving hundreds of reenactors. Redcoats, tories, Indians, militia, line units, horse and artillery are expected. July 16th and 17th on private grounds near Mt Cobb PA (3.5 miles off of I-84). This will be the largest gathering of Rev War soldiers in the history of Northeast PA.

sounds like something good. could you give me some info onwhat happens on sat. the 16th. We may have meet at last years wyoming monument dedecation, or maybe two years ago at the Newtown battle in Elmia. I was the militia guy that just showed up. I also had a small muzzleloader show at Laceyville last year, I,m making plans for this year as we "type" Oct. 1&2.

Hello, I was hoping you guys might fill me in as to how the event went. The Wyoming Valley is a days canoe trip from my settlement and a favorite study. info or pictures would be greatly recieved , Bushdog

An excellant event. Tons of powder expended, close to 900 men at arms. Three "main" battles along with three woods walks and some skirmishes, including one at 10 PM. The best skirmish may have been the one that took place Sunday morning, which somehow got out of hand :idunno: :thumbsup: , leading the Brits to beat arms for the entire camp, and escalated into a mini-battle.

I don't see this happening next year, at least on this scale. These events cost many thousands of dollars to put on, in logistics and support.
