Trish-

Miss Marcie gives the burgoo high marks! I could not bring myself to try it but can attest to everything else on the menu. It's good enough to make a grieving girl forget all about the Dreamland BBQ she used to pine for all the time. :-)

Re: Perryville on the Farm

Here's a restaurant that sells Burgoo. It's in Owensboro, KY. and was recently featured on Tennessee Crossroads, a local tourism TV show on public TV. When I heard them talking about Burgoo, it caught my attention.

Chris,

You'll have to plan your day well--the land is straight up and down and the museum will take a bit too. You'll also want to allow some time for the Merchants Row area in downtown Perryville.

The Burgoo is being served after the park closing hours. Once again, as folks have said time and again---get registered, put on your period clothes, and Come On.......

You folks are so kind and supportive as always. It is just from respect of what these events represent and the other participants that I mind my lane.

One day I will get to where I need to be impression wise and you wont be able to hold me back.

If I could indulge one final question is Burgoo something that is served all
about in restaurants locally ?

My dear Beverly,
Thank you, I shall think of ya'll often during the event time. We discovered a deep muscle infection yesterday, probably from some of the "matter" that was on the pants I was wearing, or the cleaning and rust inhibitive chemicals used on the revolver, so I actually lost ground yesterday. New medication is helping, but it reenforced my decision to lay low for a while!
Ya'll have a great time!

Mr. Peterson,

You will greatly missed. I was looking forward to seeing you again as well as your impression as the Sheriff.

Take good care of yourself and please come out and play with us as soon as possible.

Re: Perryville on the Farm

Some folks will recall the Widows and Orphans Fund table which was set up at the WIG's Shaker Village event in Sept. of '06, and at Gettysburg this past Nov.

We'll have it set up at Life On The Farm.

Hope to see everyone there.

Re: Perryville on the Farm

Being horse people with civilian interests we are planning to come up and spectate this event.

Does anyone know if there will be Burgoo available for sale to the public ?

I have read about the "2x4" stew many times and hope to try it.

Is it feasible to expect to fit a day of viewing this amazing event and the battlefield @ the manic neurotic detail level in one weekend ?


Thanks in advance.

Re: Perryville on the Farm

My dear Mrs. Lawson,
I am as well as can be expected under the circumstances. I gave thought to doing a "convalescing soldier" impression, but am concerned that exposure to heat, perspiration, dirty clothes, etc., would be ill-advised. And as I told Sivanna yesterday, the proximity of the wound to the "manly region" sort of negates the whole "local ladies taking care of me " scenario, as propriety would have
complicated such a thing for married women of class!

Re: Perryville on the Farm

Blessing to you Dear One,

Mrs. Simpson and I were on the phone late last night, wondering about your condition. We're pretty well versed in carrying folks around on a silk pillow who need such care, and were trying to figure out a time to call and check on you when it would not interupt your rest--and knowing there were many doing the same thing.

Alas, with this sort of thing 'pillow carrying' won't work--with that sort of invasive medical equipment, the potential for infection and heat problems are too great for you to be spending much time out and about.

We'll save your seat for the next event, and hope your Lovely Lady can come play too.

Re: Perryville on the Farm

It is with deep regrets that I must withdraw from the event. If you have seen the posts on the New Hope Church /Pickett's Mill event you know that I was accidentally shot in the stomach at point-blank range with a Colt revolver. I have a cavity about 5 cm in my stomach, and am addressing the inherent drainage of bodily fluids from the wound. The wound care professionals expect about 4-6 weeks of treatment, and will be installing a vacuum pump system today for that length of time. So I will have a dandy "fanny pack" with a pump and resevoir of "fluids" on my hip for at least a month.
I will not be able to event, ride horses, golf, or even cut my 10 acres of overgrown pastures for a while.

With regrets,

Patrick

Re: Perryville on the Farm

Hello All,
The event is coming up and preperations are well under way. I took some time off last week to go play with horses, but I am back and getting things finalized. I will start getting the rest of the personas to everyone next week.
If you are planning to attend and have not registered, and I know that we still have a bunch that are coming and haven't sent in registration, please do so. I need to get a good head count for the burgoo.
Thanks,
Joni
