Nice to see ACWS are still doing entertaining and educational displays. They came to our village of Green Hammerton in 2002 as part of an American theme weekend I organised -best event we ever held. Numbers of members seem to be less -there were nearer 150 participants, but still good to watch 😊

Thank you for your comments! Yes I do remember the days of having 100+ at an event. During 2002 I was only 8 but reenacting from a younger age. Great to hear it thank you!
