I attended with a few friends. It was fun. I even danced at the lessons session. I will return next year.

Please come and enjoy the weekend with us. Come in period costumes from Victorian dress and finery to cowboy and native american costumes are most certainly welcome as well as the obvious, anything from the civil war. Be a part of living history and enjoy the perfect weather to be outside. Great food too will be available.
