Q. What is the schedule?
A. When you arrive and hand in your liability release form, you will be given a ticket for one of the drama performances held in the gym two times in the morning and two times in the afternoon. After that, you will either go in the gym for the drama, or you are welcome to visit the various stations outside. A horn will blow every 20 minutes as a reminder to go to a different station at that time. You won't want to miss the battle reenactment at 11:40 a.m. and repeated at 3:40 p.m.

The morning session is from 9:00 a.m. – noon. The afternoon session is from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. Thursday morning is set aside for day schools to bring their classes though others may attend then as well. Thursday afternoon and all day Friday are set aside for all others.

The optional projects last approximately 2 hours.

Q. May we stay at the same station for a prolonged time?
A. Please go to another station when the horn blows to give others an opportunity to visit your favorite station. Feel free to return to the station at a later time.

Q. Will the sessions on both days be the same?
A. : Each session will be the same with two variations: candle dipping (one per family) is only available on Friday; and the optional projects offered each day are different as noted above. Thursday morning is set aside for day schools, though others may attend then as well. Thursday afternoon and Friday morning and afternoon are for the general public.

A. No, this is a "rain or shine" event! Come prepared for all kinds of weather.
