Thanks for the comment Jeremy.  I will be busy.  We are helping with the admission gate, doing a fund raiser for our unit flag replica project, doing some scenarios during the day, and camping out all weekend in a Civil War style A tent.  I am in charge of dinner Saturday night for the unit - pulled pork, coleslaw, corn on the cob, rolls yumm.  I can smell barbecue over the campfires now can't you?

Oh there will be help with the cooking and clean up Hal, this is a military unit and the privates all get their share of KP.

Hi C- My girls made church dolls which are made out of men's handkerchiefs, some soft material and stuffing for a head, and some ribbon.  I will post a pic and one of the other families are making some cockade pins and cups & balls.  We plan to ask for a minimum donation of $4 and hope for more.  I will do a post on the flag project next week but we are having photos taken of the original flag carried by the 56th which is up near Albany in a preservation room and having the flag recreated in silk as it was originally made.
