If you like autumn and like war re-enactments, the place to be this weekend is the Forest Glen Preserve, as the Vermilion County Conservation District will be having the return of the Vermilion Valley Encampment and Pioneer Craft Day. Activites go 10 to 5 Saturday and 10 to 4 Sunday, as Program Secretary Amy Steeples gives us a bit of a summary:
Steeples
AUDIO: Sunday is the only day that the pioneer activities for the kids will be going on, and that will be Sunday 10 to 4. There will be a Morning Troop at 10 AM both days, a fire starting competition on Sunday, bayonet training and practice on Saturday. And there will be women’s and men’s fashion show on Sunday at one.
This event is free of charge, for the whole family, and a concession stand will be available both days.
