Event Guidelines
  1. Set up will be Friday, September 24th. We realize that some participants travel long distances and require early set up. If this is the case, please make arrangements ahead of time by contacting Ken Hoppes @(615) 513-5800.
  2. Event hours are from 9:00 a.m.~5:00 p.m. on Saturday and 10:00 a.m.~4:00 p.m. on Sunday. We respectfully request that you do not break camp before 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, or leave the event early except in the case of an extreme necessity.
  3. One of the most important aspects of the event is the authenticity. As a participant, you are asked to maintain an 18th century appearance at all times. Our time period is 1760 ~ 1800. Once the event opens to the public, we ask that each participant keep the modern items out of sight.
  4. To make sure standards are met and to help us keep our records updated, we request a photo of yourself, your camp set up, and if you are a merchant or trader, your goods for sale. If you are a previous participant, we would love to have a photo. If this is your first time to participate, we will require a photo for the jury process.
  5. The event chairman/staff reserve the right to inspect merchandise, camp set up and attire and may ask that items not in keeping with standards are removed or changed.
  6. Historic Rock Castle will provide water, wood, straw and portajohns. Ice will be available and restrooms are located in the Visitors Center.
  7. All participants must check in at arrival for registration. Late arrivals should see Bill Allison.
  8. Registration Fee: $20.00 per camp or merchant.

Registration is good for one ticket on Saturday night door prize drawing. Additional tickets may be purchased.
