Klash on the Kankakee - Grand Encampment Come and see a American Revolution reenactment and a way of life like you have never seen before! This two-day event will consist of 18th century camp life involving soldiers and their families, food, games, activities, demonstrations, skirmishes (small battles), and major battles. The Reenactment of life in the 18th century shows the struggle between British forces and American Colonists in their fight for independence. Come out and watch the battles, interact with the soldiers and their families, and leave with a better understanding of what our nation went through to win its freedom. Perry Farm to host 2009 Grand Encampment! Every five years the NWTA celebrates the anniversary of its founding (1974) with a grand encampment. Over the past four years the BTPD has hosted an NWTA event which we have called Klash on the Kankakee. On average there have been approx. 150 re-enactors at Klash on the Kankakee which usually runs the first weekend in May. Grand Encampments averages 700-800 re-enactors. The NWTA Grand Encampment will be held on the 13th and 14th of June 2009. The Park District is very excited about this great opportunity and we look forward to the event!
