Atterbury 2016
|
Atterbury 2016 was on 10-22-2016. The Fall battle was a good choice. Below is the AAR that I sent to Dave Weakley. Our authenticity was good. Very few water bottles and I only saw one during lunch break. The film crew thing was BS and I let the event coordinators know it. We could do better on lunch - period correct type stuff. Nothing broke! Overall good job.
