Bridgeport Re-enactment
what are some things I need to be expecting during the siege of bridgeport?

A typical mainstream reenactment on a decent piece of land, with some period correct entertainment not normally seen at events--normally they have an 'anvil shoot'.
You can count on it being as cold as a wedge too.

Only event I have been too where the directions were "Turn right at the trailer park".
Anyways, what Ms. Lawson said above. It is a typical 3bfestival enactment and they shoot anvils.

Don't get out much in the Deep South, do you?
Trailer parks are integral to the directions for most events I go to
Ryan,
This is a Beer, Battle, and Ball Event, with guaranteed cold weather, and anvils flying through the air. Nothing more. Nothing less.
I used to move my chair so I could get a better view of the blacksmiths working. I don't think those boys get out much anymore, and anyway, that view would not interest you........

The last time I went to B-port, they were showing Sweet Home Alabama on a big screen .......never went back. The battle was ok, just a lot of really silly stuff going on besides that

"I hope to live long enough to see my surviving comrades march side by side with the Union veterans along Pennsylvania Avenue, and then I will die happy." - James Longstreet at a Memorial Day Parade in 1902.
Bridgeport is a microcosm of every small town southern Beer Battle and Ball event, with all their various abberations, save one.....
Nothing can hold a candle to the disturbingly empty whole hogs of Gainsville, after they've been picked clean ......
Which reminds me, I better check my calendar on the off chance that I can get a DaddySitter. Nothing beats Gainsville's hogs and chocolate cake

Boy!
Considering my most resent bout with those shakers and bakers that consider themselves the "real" Arthritics in this hobby... I think I could use some home grown fun for everyone.
Where and when is going to be? It would be fun getting away from all the anal retentive types for a year or so, even if it only happened for a day or two... It would seem like years!
Blair,
Its a long drive from the bottom of Florida to the top of Alabama......

Make sure you pack your poncho as well, it gets real wet sometimes.
