Raid on the Sandy River RR
last weekend of July
Tophat's Sutlery Proudly Presents
Each July, on the last weekend, the Sandy River Valley will be filled with the sounds of gun fire. As the armies of the Blue and Grey fight for control of the Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes Railroad. Tophat's Sutlery, the SRRL RR, and Peter & Freya Hainley and family invite you to attend our Annual Raid on the Sandy. The date for 2022 is Saturday, July 30 and Sunday, July 31.
Skirmishes take place on Saturday for control of the train, along side the tracks and from the train on each hourly run, and are choreographed by you, the reenactor.
Sunday we fight a tactical for control of the hundred acre site. This includes the rail yard and associated buildings. Wooded areas with hills and rock walls, open fields, and the river bed.... Make sure you bring plenty of powder and caps, you will need them!
The SR&RL RR have close to 100 acres to camp and fight on. Wood, restroom facilities, and water provided. Also a hot dinner is provided for authentically attired reenactors and railroad personnel on Saturday night.
This event is hosted by reenactors, for reenactors. Our goal is that all who attend have a really good time doing what we all love to do.
