| Just as in any hobby, there must be organization. That is especially so, when there are so many people and animals involved. Because this is a family oriented organization, there will be children in the camp. Many of the rules are geared towards saftey. A weekend of fun should not create a life time of sorrow. These rules are not to be considered just as a guide to behavior but as a necessity. We take them serious and, if you are considering becoming a member of the Grayson Cavalry; so should you. We want you to have fun but not at the expense of your family, friends, fellow reenactors and animal. Keep it safe! |
