As General Washington said, “Rally with me at the palm tree!”
Seriously though, it sounds like fun.

If you've never been, the attention to detail on the part of the participants is just amazing. I took a 24-70 for detail work and a 70-200 for long shots.
Unfortunately, I have an entangling event in LA and cannot go. 😥
I believe that the Battle of Beverly Hills was THE turning point of the war.
Is this the same place Washington took control of the airfields?
Hey, anything that helps people remember what who did what against who & why, is a good thing.
I am betting everything is a bit fancier and new/crisp/shiny/clean compared to what they really looked like :)
We have a REAL reenactment here in Greensboro, NC (the Battle of Guilford Courthouse every March and it takes place adjacent to the real battlefield. It's quite a show. Which WAS a turning point in the war.
You sure it’s a reenactment and not a real battle?

ONe guy did have to be taken away in an ambulance. He fell off his horse. I was assuming you were talking to me. LOL

No, you’re good. I was just shocked that California recognized anything that has to do with real American history.

That's because they are only on the ass end of it.
Foathog, who was Beverly Hills and what did she have to do with the American Revolution? I know the story of Molly Pitcher and Betsy Ross but have never heard of Beverly Hills before. Zounds, UHH is a never-ending source of new information, at times I am underwhelmed by the plethora of information available on this site.
