As the time moves closer to the festival date, we can always use more help.

• Events for 2012 are falling into place
  

Before the month of March is out, we should have a pretty good idea of the events we will be doing this year. There are some new ones and some repeats, all of which are fun events. Watch this page and the forums for announcements as events are confirmed. If you are not a member or are a novice re-enactor wanting to give it a try, by all means contact us and get in on the action. This is going to be an exciting year for LHC.

• Tartan Days – April 13 – 15

  Tartan Days will have a new look this year. We will not be doing the traditional “Bonnie Prince Charlie” or “Mary Queen of Scots” camps as we have done in the past. The Tartan Days Board has asked that we put an emphasis on Scottish-Americans. As such, there are three camps that we will try to staff this year. A Western Camp, portraying famous Scottish cowboys and folks of the old west, a Colonial Camp, portraying many of our founding fathers, patriots and upstanding citizens of the era, and a camp of famous Americans with a Scottish heritage. We will also be needing folks to help with stage events as we will have a stage available this year. Please see the page on this website for full details.
