Legion VI, Cohort II is recruiting and trying to find Roman reenactors for the unit in the Pacific Northwest. Right now we have three scheduled events for 2012. We have loaner equipment for both Republican Roman and Imperial Roman military.

Not yet, but I do get out there once and a while.
We could do an event out there to help recruit, like a Ren Fair, or Military show.
Let me know what I can do.

That would be great I'm interested in roman reenactment and getting my kit set up even if I just do reenactment myself but lots nicer to have a group to be associated with and do events with even if not all the time

Ok I'll have to look you all up on facebook. As for my kit probably be making the large majority of it myself clothes armor shield etc helmet I'll probably have a local armorer make as that's above my skill level and have a good blade for a gladius as well so just have to buy or make the rest of the lot doing it little by little.
As for events you could hook into if you wanted there are a few ren fairs in the area along with some reenactment events that you would be welcomed to attend as well.

If you guys do an event in (or reasonably close to) Boise, count me in! I live in Twin Falls.

To our milities friends out in Idaho, we have found one event that takes place in Boise that might work for next year (2013), in October time frame. It is the Boise Ren Fair. Also, we are looking into the Tri-Cities area of Washington to the Fair that takes place in June. I know that does not help for this year. I will post our 2013 schedule as soon as it is set.

So, newbie question here: how exactly would one go about participating in an event? (And by "one", I mean "I")
Is it as easy as joining online, showing up with my kit, shaking some hands, and being shown the ropes in person? Or is it a "let us get to know you, to see if we are ok with sharing a contuberum tent with you" -type process?
Any input would be greatly apppriciated.

Matt, yep, that's usually the way it works. There is a contingent of Romans in Oregon, or Southern Washington, I think, but I don't have any firsthand info.
