Hi all,
Since the 250th anniversary of Bunker Hill is next week, Rye had requested this game as part of their summer program. We also had some kids from Larchmont attend since they keep track of each other’s events.
I was also pretty happy to find out that 4 of these 9 kids will be at Historicon with at least one parent. I handed out more flyers and I’ll be following up with emails to all the parents as well.
The battle went pretty much as expected. The British first wave got hammered. You can see 2 photos of the first line before and after the Patriots fire phases. The game ended with the British combined grenadiers charging into the redoubt forcing the Patriots to withdraw.
June is a very busy month for Next Gen. We are really trying to push the Historicon convention. We have 5 more events scheduled in New Canaan, Somers, Trumbull (new client), Greenwich and Ridgefield.
This is in addition to our new summer camp program at the Hackley School in Tarrytown. That runs the entire week starting June 23rd. Sessions are 3 hours per day. Jim Stanton and I will run those classes with some help from Sarah Prosser, who has agreed to be one of our new facilitators.
