WWII Reenactment and WWII Living History Weekend
October 9th and 10th
[/FONT]Picture this:
Allied Forces knew the exact coordinates of the German encampment. The night before an elite German force over took a small grass airstrip just a few hundred feet away. The Allied Forces had to gain control of this airfield so they could fly in much-needed supplies. - It was going to be a tough fight.
How will the battle end? Will the Allied troops be able to gain control of the airfield and further their advancement? You will have to be here to find out. The Collings Foundation will host a Living History event you will never forget. You will be able to see original equipment from WWII in action. Everything from the cooking utensils to M1 rifles is original. Hear incredible stories directly from WWII Veterans during the Veteran's Roundtable discussion.
The only event of this type
- in the world. – Don’t miss it!

Okay, okay, I'll think of something else. But, taking the chance that the weather will be good, keep those cards and letters coming in boys and girls, I need head counts.
