CANCELLED!!
Athens battles and reenactment set for Aug 1-3, 2025 has been cancelled. I wanted to update you on the Athens battle cancellation. The state changed its rules and informed us 3 weeks before the reenactment, that it now required a 2 million dollar liability policy for the reenactment to proceed. At that time we had, as we always have had, a 1 million dollar policy. We hurried and added another million dollar umbrella policy to our existing policy, but the state was not satisfied. We were willing to pay almost 900 dollars more for our policy to suffice Jeff City. Chalk it up to unelected bureaucrats on a power quest. My apologies to everyone who planned on attending. We continue to try and work with the state, but it is becoming harder progressively. Please let any fellow reenactors know who might have been planning on attending. I hope to see you in Hermann!
