Thank you very much for sharing your photos - I did not yet have a chance to look at all of them too closely, but it was easy to pick out my Union-soldier nephew: He is the invariably shortest man in the lineup. I did catch a bit of farby in a couple of the shots - the can of Vernor's in the cart, for example, and 'strike on box' matches in one of the tents. Ooops, not quite total immersion...!

My SIL re-enacts as a civilian CW-era woman and really works hard to get into the role, all the way down to hand-sewing all her costumes, even her bloomers. Yet, yesterday she sent a message to Facebook whilst she was at the fort. She must've had her phone hidden in her needlework. Heh.

Just a quick bump to the top. The Car Show is a go for Saturday!

Please come out to the event and help us to raise funding to help keep the Fort open and to help fund the continuous restoration projects the Coalition has been involved in. Every penny of the money collected at this event will go directly to the upkeep of the Fort.

Without your support, we can only expect more of the same threats as we recently saw with the City budget to all of our historic treasures. By attending this event, you DIRECTLY support one of the most important historical sites this state has to offer.

I'm looking forward to Saturday as a lot of folks have committed to be there with their vehicles and the weather looks like it will cooperate!

See you at the Fort!
