Corinth

[PaperPusher]

I have seen some conversations on other forums about Corinth and was wondering if someone had this one in the works for the next year or two....anyone have any info?

Good question, but it may bear noting that the N-SA hosted a major Corinth-scenario event just a year or two ago.

Mark,

You'd be best served by contacting the local Chamber of Commerce/Tourism board--they were the liason the last time, and did express some ambition of doing another event at a later date.

Realize though that much of the event infrastructure that went into the ground, like water piping from the spectator entrance road back to military camps is likely gone--my memory of the discussions as a few folks worked to put that in, was that all that plumbing had to be pulled out after the event.

Only the fried chicken, apple pie, and sweet tea carrier, but was there....

With loss of officials at both the Alliance (Chamber) and Tourism, I would doubt that any events will be held here any time soon. The property used in the last event will not be used again. The owners are still quite mad about several things that went on between them and the event organizers that is according to the son in-law.

I just thought you might like to know.

I imagine one of the many items is the enormous pyramid of firewood still there long after the battle,that could be one minuscule sticking point. just my.02 worth

Mad is being nice, from what I heard. Never again! Someone or somebody drop the ball.

Could you elaborate a bit?

The inability of nco's to complete and submit requisition forms caused much hypothermia during that 90+ degree weekend. Also, there was much suffering when the provost had the audacity to demand that the people who created the impromptu parking lot adjacent to the CS camp on Saturday night move their bloody vehicles. Then there was the blue pants issue.

Bad, bad, bad FCD for thinking it was a CW reenactment and not a boy scout jamboree.

I would agree with Bernard on this but I think that such an explanation should be as factual as possible without pointing fingers and hopefully with suggestions how future such instances can be prevented. From the various posts here over the years, it appears that getting access to private land can be a problem sometimes for larger events, especially here in the East, and any lessons on what not to do that can be learned from this experience could be beneficial.

I seem to recall our NCO's submitting the request forms for firewood, and a certain "General" (whose name shall be BR) putting guards on the wood and not letting us pick it up. Also, the fact that our battalion ran out of water (in the Division-provided barrels)on Saturday afternoon, and never saw another refill. Good thing General Huckabee was kind enough to let us use his. I've been to two FCD events and been woefully unimpressed at both. Just my 2 cents.
