Here's a very cool event that is happening last weekend of June. WWII reenactment of Normandy Beach landing on Tiscornia Beach in St. Joe and a Pacific Theater battle at the airport. The last 2 years have been Korean War/Vietnam conflict commemoratives...3 years ago they did the WWII reenacments. Very cool. Probably 500 reenactors, Higgins landing craft, German defenders up on the beach with (propane powered) MG42s, watching Garands jam on the beach from all the sand in them.
We'll be on vacation that weekend (crap!) but it is well worth the drive if you are a military history geek like me.
This guy has some good pix of the event 3 years ago http://www.flickr.com/photos/billkimandthecats/3660692119/

Kris,
You might post this on the Illinois and Indiana boards also. Both states are close enough for a trip.
I'm going to try and go. I think I'll take my niece.
