Fresno School Day Program |
| MEMO
Date: August 26, 2010 To: Members of the Civil War Reenactment Community From: Fresno Historical Society RE: Civil War Reenactment at Kearney Park October 1 Time Travelers October 2 & 3 The Civil War Revisited Greetings from Kearney Park! Thanks to the help of so many of you, plans are falling into place for October. We’re excited and hope you are too. We’ve had lots of good questions come our way over the past few weeks. We thought it might be helpful if we shared a few with you. Is the event an invitational? Yes, it is. We decided to move to the invitational format so that multiple clubs could come together to plan and stage the weekend. Is there a planning committee? There is and you are welcome to be part of it. You are also welcome to send along any ideas you have that you think might make for a better event. Who will be “in charge” of the event? As is always the case, the responsibility will be shared by several people. Event Host Fresno Historical Society (Carole Lester & Jill Moffat) Event Coordinator Charles Henry, CWRS Confederate Command Chris Bowman, ACWA 2nd in command Mike McKinsey, NCWA Union Command Tom Bispo, ACWA 2nd in command: Joe Fiffick, NCWA Military Hospital Andy Hill, CWRS Civilian Camp Jennifer Roger, NCWA Time Travelers School Day Sharon Hiigel, Fresno Historical Society Keith Bowles, NCWA Will there be powder reimbursements? Yes, there will be and we’ll be in touch with artillery units about the details. If you have other questions that you would like to chat with us about or suggestions you would like to share, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We welcome your ideas and appreciate so much all your enthusiasm and expertise. We’re having fun pulling together a number of gifts for a “reenactor give-away” . . . . and think we’ve found a group of young musicians you’ll enjoy . . .all acoustic and very talented. Looking forward to seeing you in October and working with you to make the event the best ever! |
