Actual participants would probably be several hundred, because they also have a very large revolutionary battle reenactment. There are possibly 200 people involved in that alone. I live not too far from Friendship, IN, where the NMLRA nationals are held, and of course you know how many show up there. Also there's the " Feast of the Hunter's Moon" in Lafayette, IN, where there are about 100,000 spectators show up each day for this two day event in October. We of course have the small local groups that have the more "traditional" less commercial 'Voos, but, only family and friends are all that usually show up for those. I was talking about the one's that a person might want to drive a couple hundred miles and take his family to. The success of these is gaged by the # of spectators. I don't know the number of actual number of participants, but usually if you get that many people in attendance, there's enough involved to put on a good show. It's also a good place tho pick up some supplies because most of the major traders show up. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

NMLRA has one west of Pittsburg Sept 24-Oct 3rd. Great North American Rendezvous is also outside of Pitt Sep 11th - 19th. Whispering Pines is Aug 14-16th thats in north central Pa. But your best bet is to get a copy of: Smoke & Fire News P.O. Box 166 Grand Rapids Oh 43522 419-832-0303 Yearly Subscription is $18 and well worth it for the best listing of events you will find for Early American, F&I, Rev War, War of 1812, Rendezvous Fur Trade, Medival, Civil War and great articles to boot. The March 1998 issue lists 68 events under the Early American heading in the Indiana, Ohio, Pa area alone. So for all of you looking for info on events I can't recommend this publication enough it is a great source of info. If you are anywhere near NE Ohio you can usually get a copy of Smoke & Fire at the Log Cabin Shop in Lodi Oh. Great place to leave your retirement money if you like to shop for black powder and re-inactment supplies. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Apr 1998 17:44:09 -0700 From: Frank Subject: Re: MtMan-List: hand made linen shirts Hello Joe, I just received a war shirt, britches and two cotton shirts from Lame Bear at Medicine River Trading Post. The war shirt is outstanding! The cotton shirts were very nice and fit perfectly. I am sure Kat does good work too, but I have first hand knowledge of Lame Bear's work and it is absolutely beautiful! He was very helpful to me and made exactly what I asked for. Lame Bear gets my highest recommendation. http://www.medicineriver.com/ Medicine Bear John Kramer wrote: > Joe, > > I'm not sure if I've ever met Kat Hargus.
