p.m. battle.
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.”

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.
