A local unit of the Massachusetts Provincial Battalion was back in action Saturday, fighting off an incursion by the French at Sorenson Park in Holly.
The battalion will be in town in a couple weeks to recruit new members. The reenactment group recreates historic battles, or just fights new ones, using period-correct clothing, weapons, and equipment.
The group, along with other reenactors, historians, and vendors from Civil, Revolutionary, and French and Indian war eras, will be featured at the Twelfth Annual ‘Early American Living History Show? at Springfield Oaks County Park, Davisburg.
The show, sponsored by Chief Pontiac Trail Boy Scouts, is set for 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 16; and 10 a.m.- 4 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 17.
Admission is $3 for adults and children 12 and older, and free for children under 12 with adult. All proceeds benefit Chief Pontiac Trail Clinton Valley Council youth programs.
