Impressions: Several people will be asked to portray certain impressions (Tailor, Photographer, Tavern/Inn keeper, ect) Some male civilians will be working on the porch on house #1.  

Bedford is a very rural looking town and civilian impressions should try to reflect that. Top hats and fancier clothing may be worn, but please save it for Saturday evenings festivities.

This event is an invite only and I trust everyone with their individual impressions. If you have any questions, please email me at speedybri@adelphia.net
