 List of Events for the Entire Year

Several Reenactors and Event Hosts have contacted us via e mail and by phone asking us where the list of events for the entire year can be obtained.   Normally, this site will list events, several months out in advance.  Only an event that subscribes to the website with a link for the reenactors and public to click through to get more information will be listed for the entire year.

The entire list of events is only available by subscribing to the printed version of the Haversack Herald.    In the printed version Richard publishes the entire list of events for the year, current as of the date of printing, 10 times a year, mailed to your front door. To have your event listed on the site for the entire year please click on the advertising button on the left to see our rates, otherwise a listing in the printed copy is free.

The expense of hosting and maintaining this site are supported by the subscriptions to the printed versions of the Haversack Herald and the advertising taken out on the site itself.  If you find these publications useful and entertaining to your hobby, or helpful for your event, please support us by taking out a subscription.
