Admission, which also in- cludes Antique Powerland museums and exhibits, is $12 for adults and free to children under 12. Robinson noted the event is particularity educational for kids. “One demonstration shows them cotton on a branch and explains to them that this is how this shirt started,” he said. “We really try to reach out to families and help kids under- stand just how different life was back then.” Robinson said 300 to 400 reenactors are expected throughout the weekend. Patrons are invited to walk through the camps and ask questions. “We do our best to really transport people back to 1863,” Robinson said. “We as reenac- tors, we live in 1863 fromthe time we get there until the time we leave. We're not just putting on a show. We're trying to live the time. We're trying to live in history. It's not like a perfor- mance. We, as much as possible, want people to step back into 1863. We cook 1863. We dress 1863. It's very authentic. They do a very good job. I'm a civil- ian but I have great respect for the military reenactors. They do it well.” For more information, go to nwcwc.org REAL ESTATE Civil War Battles, rodeos and enough fi reworks to make your head explode.

Oregon law bans pos- session, use, or sale of fi re- works that fl y, explode, or travel more than six feet on the ground or 12 feet into the air. Fireworks commonly called bottle rockets, Roman Candles, and fi recrackers are all illegal in Oregon. Under Oregon law, of- fi cials may seize illegal fi re- works and fi ne offenders up to $500 per violation. Those who misuse fi reworks or allow fi reworks to cause damage are liable and may be required to pay fi re sup- pression costs or other dam- age. Parents are also liable for fi reworks damage caused by their children. The OSFM encourages everyone to use the four B’s of safe fi reworks use: • Be prepared before light- ing fi reworks: keep water available by using a garden hose or bucket. • Be safe when lighting fi reworks: keep children and pets away from fi reworks. • Be responsible after light- ing fi reworks: never relight a dud. Wait 15 to 20 minutes then soak it in a bucket of water before disposal. • Be aware: use only legal fi reworks and use them only in legal places.
