Kalamazoo Living History Show 2018

Kalamazoo Expo Center


This past weekend,  March 17th and 18th, Jade and I attended the Kalamazoo Living History Show. Mostly a giant swap meet with hundreds of vendors and thousands of people, it was a good opportunity to restock supplies and get a few things before start of main reenacting season.

Many members of our respective home units attended as well, the 21st Indiana Artillery on Saturday while Robinsons Battery had a table setup. What was the nicest thing was seeing many friends and people we knew from multiple eras in one place. Covering primarily the 17th through 19th Centuries there was much to buy.

I took too many pictures to put them all up here. If you are unfamiliar with us there, search for Black Powder and Lace on Facebook to find additional photographs and see three videos of our favorite Fifers, The Wind Rose Minstrels.
