WW II Encampment
 The
goals of the Applebutter Fest WWII
Encampments are to educate the
public and honor the memory of
soldiers of World War II through the
display and demonstration of the
uniforms, weapons, equipment, and
tactics used is World War II.
There will be many authentic WWII
vehicles at the encampment:
land-to-sea amphibious unit (Tom
Price, owner), half track truck
(John Cheney, owner), US Jeep
with 30 cal. machine gun (Frank
Pamalski and Son, owners), and a
Sherman tank.
Re-enacting groups include the
German mountain troops (Mark
Pacholski, coodinator) and US WWII
GIs (Bruce Simmet, coordinator and
weapons specialist). Civilians
will be represented with the French
Resistance (Dawn Simmet and Elly
Hulme).
Do you have original WWII
equipment or memorabilia you'd like
to display at the Fest? We are
always looking for individuals who
would like to represent the
different nationalities in the WWII
Encampment. There is no fee to
participate but we do need to hear
from you in advance.
Due to the heavy traffic and tens
of thousands of people that attend
the Applebutter Fest it is important
to note that there are certain
guidelines that must be followed.
- Any display in
the WWII Encampment
Area must be set up
either on Saturday
after 12 pm or
Sunday morning
before 6:30 am.
- Nothing can be
removed from the
area until at least
5:30 pm. This area
gets extremely
crowded during the
day and especially
at the end of the
festival as people
from the canal area
filter through the
WWII Encampment Area
as they are trying
to pack up their
equipment. Your
vehicles and any
large trailers will
need to be parked in
one of the outlying
lots.
