Please take a gander at the list and update you calenders If you know of an event that is not listed, PLEASE submit it so that others can plan to attend http://www.mysticbuffalo.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=201 The Tradin' Post has been moved due to security and system compatibility issues. We are actively looking for a replacement but at this time there doesn't appear to be a suitable solution, which has been found for the time being. The new Tradin' Post is located in the Waterin' Hole Click the link above to view it. http://www.mysticbuffalo.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=200 The State is shutting down the Fort des Chartres historic site on Oct 1. due to the Great Illinois Budget Wars of '08. However, I have spoken with Tammy Duensing, who says they have given Daryl permission to hold rendezvous and F&I events on the grounds; there will be absolutely no state support for the events, no access to the museum or restrooms, and no state staff, though - all volunteer and camp-fee based for things such as firewood, johns, and trash pickup. Back to the Old Days, Folks! Maybe it will be good for our spirit; things have been getting a little soft over the last decade or so. I will try to post any news I hear about how the Fall Fort 'vous may be carried out.

After complications one of the twins was lost. There will be a grave side service Thursday at Wanda Cemetary at 10AM for family and Rendezvous friends. The Friends here at Mystic Buffalo send our condolences and our prayers are with the Ferguson's. http://www.mysticbuffalo.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=197 Sorry for the outage of the website for so long but it is back up and running. We had a server upgrade that took Mystic Buffalo down initially then the database was corrupted during the upgrade, so it took quite awhile to figure out. Hours at the real job didn't help any either. Again sorry for the long outage. A website rebuild and a new server are in the works. Hopefully you will not notice the transition until it is complete. http://www.mysticbuffalo.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=196 Kurt Kestermeier "Bigon's" went to meet the Great Creator on Saturday, May 24th. He was a member of our rendezvous community. He was visiting his kids and had just went to his dad's to stay with him a few days. He is being cremated and his ashes will be spread in the woods behind his fathers house. A memorial service for Kurt will be held at Fort Chartres on Sunday, 6/8, at 10:00 during opening ceremonies. They are also going to have another service at St Charles Rendezvous on 6/21.

Hope to see more people from the Mystic Buffalo community there next year. Just a quick thanks to everyone who works so hard to put on these events. I know it is a thankless job.

Sharon http://www.mysticbuffalo.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=187 A Member of the Rendezvous community has gone to that great spirit in the sky. Jeff Berg, son of Otto and Darlene Berg, passed away on Sunday, May 6th. Jeff drummed with the Great River Fife and Drum Corps for many years and loved to rendezvous. His family was always camped at Heritage Days and while drumming, he participated in various other rendezvous. The visitation is Wednesday, May 9th from 4 to 8 P.M. at Elias Smith Funeral Home in Godfrey, and the funeral is Thursday May 10th at 10 A.M. Jeff had a great sense of humor and will be missed by all who knew him.
