Thats got alot of potential. I was just talking to someone the other day that I'm surrounded by water down here but haven't had a quality naval event in years. I'll pass this on to the Buzzard Club and USS Fort Henry guys and see if we can put together a road trip.

Since I can't seem to find the edit button - this is the 146th, not the 145th. Will have updated handbills as soon as editing again becomes possible.

Hallo!
Herr Bob...
IIRC, the edit button vanishes after an hour.

Not a real Civil War reenactor, I only portray one on boards and fora.
I do not portray a Civil War soldier, I merely interpret one.
DOH!
Guess I'll just upload the new handbills here.

Schedule conflicts with the Fort Knox event
Would love to attend but after driving from Michigan to Maine and back during the 3rd week in July a road trip to Mobile Bay is pushing this old sailor's attention span. LOL

Avast
Looks like planning for this event has fallen through. Unless someone down South (or elsewhere) can take over, it appears this is a non-event. How tragic. Anyone up for preliminary planning for 2012 150th?
