French & Indian War Grand Encampment,
26-28 June 2009
June 4, 2009 Update
Dear Unit Commanders, Adjutants, and Sutlers,
We’re just a couple of weeks away from the Fort’s 2009 Grand Encampment and it promises to be a lively weekend. With that in mind, what follows is an update on registration, general orders, and Fort-related business. As we get closer to the Grand Encampment check back for further updates.
Please share this information with your unit.
As always if you have any questions about the encampment please feel free to contact Mark Turdo at mturdo@fort-ticonderoga.org or at 518-585-2821. If you have sutler-related questions contact Rich Strum at rstrum@fort-ticonderoga.org or at 518-585-6370.
Thanks and we look forward to seeing you soon.
General Orders and Announcements
While everyone should be aware of the sections pertinent to them, please make sure that at least one member of your unit is familiar with the Fort’s Reenactment Guidelines.
General registration and access to the individual camps will not open until 9 am Friday morning. Anyone arriving earlier should contact Mark Turdo to make arrangements.
Sutlers may begin arriving on Thursday.
Blank registration forms will be available at the registration tent, but to help expedite your registration you are encouraged fill out your registration form beforehand and bring it with you.
Reenactors and sutlers will park only in designated participant parking locations. As always, there is no parking in camp or on the tour road next to the camps (once equipment has been offloaded). Any car parked in a no-parking zone will be towed at the owner’s expense.
Officers and enlisted men are reminded to leave their arms (including all bladed weapons) in camp when visiting the museum and garden.
Participants are reminded that if they wish to interpret inside the walls of the Fort or in the Fort’s demo area, they are requested to contact Richard Strum (rstrum@fort-ticonderoga.org) to coordinate their program before June 12, 2009. Afterwards, no pre-arranged interpretive programs will be permitted inside the Fort.
There will be a provost stationed at the Fort’s marquis on Friday and Saturday nights starting at 10 pm and ending at 6 am. This provost consists of Fort staff that is there to help if you or your unit has an emergency during the night.
The 2009 participant schedule is much the same as in previous years.
