More "Do" than "Vous" but it's a start
« on: May 22, 2005, 08:03:33 AM »
Lostid asked about who 'vous' in another thread, and the first reply was one that I had hit uppon also:  How do you find out about them BEFORE they happen, I too usually find out about them by hearing someone talking about what a good time they had, and then it's too late.  One of the things I've figured out is that they are the same weekend every year(generally speaking) so if it's one you'd like to go to, mark your calandar.  The hardest and probably the and most important thing to do is go to your first one, then you'll find out about more.

So I'll kick this thing off with a "Do" going off this coming weekend for those that might want to make the trip.
 
The folks at Boonesborough are having their May Trade Fair this coming weekend (Memorial Day Weekend)

http://frontierfolk.net/v-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?t=3755   this is not the official website but will get you the information you need.

If anyone else has some they know of in their area and would like to spread the word feel free to add them to this thread and we'll change the topic to something more appropriate.

You can look for flyers in your local traditional ml shops.  You can join your state association and get them from the newsletter.  You can use google and come up with the following in a matter of minutes.

Here is my home state of colorado

Here's a list of links to some other outfits

I rarely attend a 'vous unless there is a shooting match that does not require a costume, since i don't re-enact.  I do enjoy the matches though and many will allow blue jeans and sneakers during the daytime hours at least.

Thanks LongCruise, the problem with a lot of "Lists" ive found is that they are 5 to 10 years old and trying to use them can get to be a little frustrating because a lot of the information has changed.  

One that I've found to be current is here:  http://www.buckskinnermagazine.com/html/club_list___shoots.html
