He travels once a month during the
summer to various re-enactments at
Wauseon’s Biggby Coffee Coldwater, Turkeyville and Jackson,
Michigan, as well as Angola, Indiana.
Celebrates Ribbon Cutting Ceremony The trips are fun for getting to know
people, seeing friends and enjoying the
camaraderie.
“Coldwater is one of my favorites,”
Gabe said.
When he started, he used his grand-
father’s uniform, but has now grown out
of that and has his own outfit.
“You tend to go through them pretty
quick,” Gabe said.
When the re-enactors are younger,
there is a lot of swapping of uniforms
going on with other families, mom Joni
Matthews said.
“When they are man-sized, it is much
more expensive,” she said.
The people at the events are his fa-
vorite part of the experience. Most peo-
ple are “super nice,” Gabe said.
“We’re not just neighbors and camp-
ers, we are one huge family,” Gabe said.
“You’ll help somebody else out and not
ask for something in return. Everyone
is so nice.”
The living history aspects of the
weekends keep him interested as well
as spending time with the many friends
he has made. He does like history and
learning about the different weapons.
