Re: "Remembering WWII " event September 27 Linden TN
Things are moving up quickly. We need more reenactors to attend to make this one of the best events in the South. Pass it along to your friends. How many events give reenactors blanks and up to four meals at a free event? How many events let you fight seven blocks trough a downtown? How many have live 40’s music? Large swap meet? WWII Veterans lectures? All this and top notch period vehicles and encampment displays. Don’t miss out! The weather is about to cool down and it’s time to pull your gear out of the garage.
NEW! We want to see you and your best gear at this event. Extra blanks with be awarded for best impressions, best encampment displays, farthest traveled reenactor, etc. Show offs welcome.
Correction from previous email. The web address for mothballs TN vintage clothes and accessories was incorrect. Please visit them atwww.mothballstn.etsy.com and then stop in and say hello.
I would like to thank Anthony Courter and his family who are making all this possible. They are working around the clock to make it a great event and have enlisted dozens of volunteers to help honor WWII veterans. Jessica Courter is also personally responsible for the excellent web site. Please thank them if you see them at the event.
