NCWA Grand Ball (Location TBA)
your website here does not allow me to look for information on the Knights Ferry Re-enactment.
Can someone inform me where I can find out battle times for both days, when the camps are open, etc.

This is all I could come up with by searching the web:

The ACWA website doesn’t have any info but the dates.

That information is not available until you arrive at the site. It is usually decided upon by the Brigade Commanders on the first day and then dispersed to the individual units.
