Dear Civil War Historians,

 Well folks this is a message that is not easy to make. But reality is what it is and to be dealt with.  Darcy, Paul and I have planned the School event soon after we cancelled the October re enactment.  We trusted the conditions would allow us to have a School event in April. But now after reconnecting with Chris at the Trumbull County Health Department we really need to cancel the event.

     The State of Ohio and Governor DeWine’s rules have been in place for months.  But they are not always followed or enforced. And to make matters worse the virus is resurging.   Therefore no mass gatherings of over 10 people, staying 6 feet distant, and wearing masks are still to be observed.

Chris could not see any way our event with what we do to allow any exemption like some venues have.  We could have the event and perhaps be reprimanded afterward but as law abiding Christians and protocol following military I would never like to ruin our good reputation and the goodwill we possess.

   So after a long sigh of disappointment we are canceling the School and discontinuing further planning and presentations.  Please notify those whom you will contact and Darcy and I will do the same. Fees to be refunded.

  Thank you so much for planning what we anticipated to be an enjoyable and successful event.  Rules being what they are it remains to be seen what events and activities that will be able to take place going into Spring Summer and Fall.   Take care,  Ted and Darcy
