So what time is it this year? Has it passed and where exactly is it in Lowell?

It was last weekend, so it's over for 2012.

Google "Buckley homestead Indiana" and you see the location on the map.

I've been there several times. Seems its always the first weekend in May. Weather can be a challenge.

It would be so cool for me from a different perspective I would guess. My father was a German officer in WWII fighting on the Russian front. He told me stories of the horse drawn kettle that provided them with hot food daily. Seeing that one was there would be worth me going just by itself. Plus, he had a MP40 and it would be interesting to see if anyone there was carrying a Walther for a sidearm. Not all Germans carried a Luger.

Full Auto please, please, please, please for next year let me know so I can up it on the NWI INGO events thread and SPAM out membership with the info. Did not know about this and I'm sure many of our members did not either.

Will do.

It will be the first weekend of May next year, that much I can tell you for sure.

I'd be interested in that. My daughter lives there. Could kill two birds with one stone!

Hey a link of interest.... Real time updates from WW II on Twitter (or Facebook). It's 1940 right now and France is on the verge of falling. It's fascinating seeing these updates come out real time - the level of detail the guy posts is incredible.

Plus he says he may do one for WW I soon.

It's a real nice LST (functioning). They got it from Greece several years ago and brought it over the Atlantic. It has made several trips down the Ohio.
