Every year, Conneaut, Ohio hosts the largest D-Day reënactment in the world. In one of his live streams last summer, Mr. Beat talked about it and how he’d be there for the occasion. So I thought I’d go up there and check it out, as it’s in my neck of the woods. I brought along Mr. Beat’s election book just in case I happened to see him, but I doubted it, because it’s a big festival. I saw a reënactment of the Battle of Pegasus Bridge, walked along the Erie beachhead, visited a bunch of tents with costumed personnel, and looked and a whole fleet of vehicles from the war. It was definitely a rich experience. But soon, my family and I were about to leave. As I was walking out of the festival, literally 50 feet from the exit, I caught a glimpse of him and Chris from Vlogging Through History in the grass. It is always surreal to see someone usually confined to a screen in real-life. We had a little chat and he autographed my book. He and Chris are such nice people, I hope I hadn’t bothered them.
