CIVIL WAR LIVING HISTORY POST-EVENT WRAP-UP- Thank you to all the participants and attendees of this year's event!  "President Lincoln" and the Generals did a fine job of entertaining and informing all of us through their question and answer sessions and the military skirmishes and artillery demonstrations made us aware of the fearsome realities of war.  Special thanks to Joel Moore for all of his planning and organization skills leading up to this weekend.  Everyone who dedicated his or her time and talents is greatly appreciated!   Next year's Civil War event is already being planned for the last weekend in June - don't miss it!
