Silas, Your crew put on a great showing it was indeed a pleasure to have you all there and make your acquaintance. I would like to say merci, mon bon ami for the tasty libation Saturday eve. The tug o war was a great time. I do so hope you will come back next year. Sorry I did not get around on Sunday, (as duty called), to bid you au revoir! Sincerely Wenchfreely.

I just spoke with Darryl and he tells me the materials are being prepared as we speak. I will certainly keep you posted.

Early set up will start Sat morning May 29th. Some people setup and stay the whole week. You can set up any time during that week. The 40th annual Fort De Chartres Rendezvous begins with raising of the colors on Sat June 5th. No one will be able to drive in after that time. And depending on how the weather behaves we may have to pack in anyway. I can see if Darryl has a new line up of events yet-if so I will get a hold of it and post.

Hey guys Wenchfreely here, Glad to see you are still tryin to head our way. The info on the Fort DeChartres site as far as calender of events is for last year. This is the 40th. We do have a shoot every year but the dates are not correct. And I'm not sure the events will be the same. We do have live shoots with our arms as well as cannons.

Very well Capt J. Keep us posted on progress so we can give way. Wenchfreey

Ahoy, Wenchfreely here. I have been attending this event this 1984. Would certainly be worth your while to attend. Great location and a great time is had by all. While I hail as a French Wench I would love to see you guys give the French Marines a run for their money at the hawk block or firing range we also have a cannon competition. I put on the knife and hawk throw on both Saturday and Sunday around noon. Come say hello. You guys sound like a fine bunch to get to know. Let me know if I can be of any help. We can set up the weekend prior but they will not let us save campsites unless you erect a structure-No canvas on the ground will do. Long days and pleasant nights to ya!
