1. Members will be picnicing together for a mid-day lunch between demo responsibilities. Please bring period or period-like lunch baskets. Each member planning to lunch should bring a cloth napkin, silverware, ceramic plate and glass. Please avoid paper /plastic to maintain "period" appearance. Each member should bring their own drinks and desert. We will all "chip-in" and send a "runner" to a local sub-shop for sandwiches to be cut up into small portions. (There are several period picnic baskets to borrow if you'd like)

2. There will be a CAMP DANCE at 7:00 on Saturday  6/6/09 with live music being provided by Jim Kimball's Period Civil War Band. The Camp Dance will be held under a large tent with a cement floor. This should be great fun !!!...Good weather with 72 degree temps are expected. Bring a shawl for later in the evening.....During the Camp Dance Intermission, there will be a "live fire" canon / weapons demonstration. 

3. After our 4:00 Saturday demonstration, members are free to leave the event to take supper and then return for the 7:00 Camp Dance.
