Soldiers, trappers and traders of various cultures — as portrayed by re-enactors — gather to trade goods, buy supplies and take part in a shooting contest that requires them to walk through the woods and fire flintlocks at pop-up targets, according to a news release from organizers.
Visitors are welcome to observe; there is no cost to attend.
