DEMONSTRATOR REGISTRATION INFO

ANNUAL EVENT!

Costumed reenactors, craftsmen, historians, food vendors, veterans, and enthusiasts, please come to engage with the public and impart some wisdom, inspiration, and love of history to the public. This is the first year of an annual event.

The Location of Williams Park in Gibsonburg is a beautiful spot, spacious, trimmed grass, and clean air! There is a camping/RV ground bordering the park for anyone that prefers to stay in a RV or non-period/modern tent (separate business NOT associated with the event! Please call them ahead to schedule space). William's Park is on the north side of our little burg (we only have one traffic light, if that tells you how small the town is). When you see the 9/11 memorial, the military plane, veterans memorial, and metal sculptures: that's the park.

THE EVENT IS FREE TO PARTICIPANTS AND PUBLIC!

Vendors availability still open!

Parking for setup is right in front of the park and you can drive into the park to set up right on the spot as well. Once set up, separate parking for reenactors will be nearby.

To be a part of the event, May 20 & 21, 2023, send the attached information request by May 1st. Late arrivals and walk-ons will be admitted on a case-by-case basis.

Friday, May 19th starting 10AM; and Saturday May 20th before 10AM. (please have vehicles out of the park by 10AM when the event is officially open to the public)
