Historic Interpretations thrives on its amazing volunteers... and collectively we have so much knowledge. For the first time the HI Board has organized a day and a half event, History Con, to highlight our educational mission and offer workshops, hands-on activities and a whole lot of fun to build the capacity of our volunteers and allow everyone the opportunity to network, connect, and learn from one another. What better way to get to know the HI Family. In order to make this work we need to you REGISTER! Only the first 75 spots are available and we are more than half filled already!!! All we need is your name and a bit of information about you and your expectations for the event and we will send you the final workshop and activities agenda that you can customize in order to make the most of your History Con experience. And did we mention it's FREE! Highlights! We are supper excited for the Meet and Greet scheduled for Saturday evening. The food is provided and we even hope to have live music and dancing under the stars. Sunday will even include an Open Market to trade and sell costumes, garb and reenactment props and accessories. Workshops The Learning Experiences planned provide a wide range for our volunteers, friends and family members: delve deep into creating a historical persona, or how you can serve HI as a Brownshirt Volunteer and learn more about CPR and First Aid.
