Perryville on the Farm

[Joni House]

Re: Perryville on the Farm

Hello All,
I just about have this thing hammered out.
I should have the specifics and registration info posted next week.
I hadn't really thought about a GAR reunion, but that is do-able. Several noted union officers were at these sales (including G.A. Custer who bought horses from the Alexander's) as well as ex-confederates.
If there is an interest in doing that let me know and we can add that to the lists.
Thanks,
Joni House

Hello All,
This one is going to be a hoot!
The park has contracted cooks that are going to do KY Burgoo (if you've never eaten it you are in for a treat) and BBQ. No work this year - eat drink and be merry.
I think Joni is finalizing the scenarios now and it should all be posted by early December.
If you have horses this would be the event for you. It will all be based on the horse sales that took place in Central Kentucky shortly after the Civil War.
I will challenge folks to a race now. I have the best trotting mare in the country.
Mark your calender! This will be a unique experience in reenacting.
Watch for the full details.
Your Pard,
Chad Greene
