| We have been invited by the Genesee State Park Region to put on this encampment at Hamlin Beach State Park on the shores of Lake Ontario, the weekend of August 19 to 21, 2011. The park comes with full use of the park facility (hot showers, flush toilets and use of the beach). Hamlin Beach State Park is located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, 25 miles west of Rochester, New York on the Lake Ontario State Parkway. It is 25 miles north of the New York State Thruway, LeRoy exchange, off of State Route 19 in Hamlin. |

| Genesee State Park Region Recreation Department is providing entertainment. Saturday night, Allen Hopkins will be there to perform period music for the dance. The reenactment will also include a battle each day, all day living history, a full slate of civilian activities, which will include a Saturday Evening there will be a night fire after the dance. We will have both authentic camps and a modern camp. The park comes with full use of the park facilities (flush toilets). Wood, Straw, Hay for horses and water is provided. This year there will also be a Food Vendor, which will be open. |
|
| This is the Twelfth year of this event in the park, so we have a unique opportunity to educate the public on the vacation and the park about the lifestyles and history of the Civil War period. For this reason we are going to emphasize authenticity, re-enactor and public interaction. Your ideas and scenarios are welcome. There will be spectators coming from the park campground, summer recreation programs and local people. Our impression on the park and its patrons will be important to the future of this event. Also for this reason there should be no dogs in authenticity camp. |
