He's looking for reenactors! - Walt's Daughter - 06-21-2006 Got this today from Dave at http://wwiifederation.org
Dave,
As we discussed on the telephone, I am looking for some reenactors to help us with our vacation bible school event. The VBS happens from Monday July 10th to Thursday July 13th. My need is for reenactors on Thursday July 13th (6pm to 9pm) in Reading Pennsylvania. I'm looking for local US Army troops (6 people) preferably airborne units which were involved in Operation Market Garden. They don't have to be paratroopers, but it would be historically accurate.
This years theme is called "Freedom's Heroes: Heroes of the 1940's" where we will be portraying an occupied Holland village during the war. On the last day, the US troops come through and liberate the town (with a parade type atmosphere). I have included a copy of the script to show what we are doing. The fourth day script is not complete but the actual liberation part is in there. The other three days are in there.
Our VBS attendance usually averages 600-700 children per night. They will range in age from 5 years old through 5th grade (just having completed the 5th grade). Each night, the kids are placed in "rotations," by which approximately 1/3rd of them at a time are either in our main sanctuary for the drama, playing games outside in the games area, doing crafts, having a snack, or participating in "Life Application" where the Bible story and theme for the evening is explored more deeply with them. So, the drama each evening is presented 3 times.
I'm sorry for the short notice. The plan was to find reenactors at the WWII weekend in Reading, but we did not have much luck. We do have German reenactors which will be helping on the other days.
Thanks for your help,
