OT Cedar Creek re-enactment

This week- end is the Cedar Creek re-enactment of the Battle of Cedar
Creek during the American Civil War in Middletown, VA. This battle in
interesting because the Confederates won the battle in the morning,
the Federals won in the afternoon.

The town is decorated with flags, and folks in period clothing can be
seen entering local eateries, one of which was here and in business
during the war, Wayside Inn.

I followed a lovely bronze/brass cannon down the main street
yesterday, it was kind of funny/wierd knowing that it is fully
functional and was pointed at me!

The re-enactment is centered around Belle Grove, a plantation home, I
will be selling raffles tickets for a quilt under the big tent. My
guild, TOVA, made the quilt, it is completely hand made, and proceeds
are divided equally between the guild and the Belle Grove Foundation.

I am hoping for sunshine all week-end because it isn't any fun in the
mud and rain.
