Pards,
If you are in the area dont pass up this event! This is a great way to get more visitors over to the island, as well as Fort Mott, which is really in need of preservation efforts. 1st person, hanging out in the only replicated Confederate POW barracks in the world, garrison duty, possibly being able to sleep at the fort....an awesome deal. If youve never visited the island do it! This event has great potential so give it your support.
