Why I'm Involved
Ten years ago my grandmother took me to a civil war reenacting event as a reward for getting my 4H projects done, as one of her long time friends and sewing circle ladies was a member.. She took me and my sister to this blistering hot July 4th camping event where I snuck into a battalion meeting, got to carry around a Springfield rifle and fell incredibly in love with the history, camping and all the stories every single member has to offer. I have grown up at these events, and this decade of reenacting has taught me more than I can say. I have found some of my closest friends in life, and I will never forget the community around the campfire.
