Any info yet? Dates, details?

Hawkyns

Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl

I do what I do for my own reasons.

I do not require anyone to follow me.

I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs.

if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.

According to the Men of Menendez webpage, the dates are June 4-6 at the Fountain of Youth Park.

In days of old when ships were bold just like the men that sailed 'em,

and if they showed us disrespect we tied 'em up and flailed 'em,

often men of low degree and often men of steel,

they'd make you walk the plank alone or haul you 'round the keel.

Do they have a new webpage? I looked at their page under the Historic Florida Militia and couldn't find anything

No, the website doesn't look as if it has been updated. I should have stated, more correctly, that I got the information from their monthly email newsletter. That seems to be the only source of current info.
