Going Rogue in a Grand Way

Hi-o, friends!  How has your September been thus far?  I haven’t been doing much in West Michigan this month, sorry!  There are some pretty sweet things coming up, though, like the awesome *free* Grand Rouge Encampment event.  This Saturday and Sunday (Sept. 18 & 19) head up to the Grand Rouge Encampment just north of Grand Rapids where the Rouge and Grand Rivers come together for historical demonstrations!  There will be military and camp life demonstrations all weekend ranging from Colonial America to WWII.

The super sweet thing about this event is that it takes place next to a modern campground so you and the family can camp there & not miss a second of the awesome dorkiness that is historical reenactment.  I was a theatre jock in high school and college & have always been secretly jealous of those people that participate in events like this.  What fun!  How do you all feel about historical reenactments?  I enjoyed looking at the participant rules, my favorite being “Absolutely no smoking of non-period tobacco products in the historic areas.”  Haha.  I hope that you can go – I am going to try my hardest!  I’m working in the Lansing area Saturday morning & making jelly on Sunday & Monday with grapes from my own vines.  Hooray fall!
