For our tenth festival we are planning a number of new activities and music. How about a Civil War camp and candlelight tour complete with live canon fire and marshmallows falling from airplanes?
Along with our activities and events from years past, we will have our free barbecue dinner which was a great hit last year. The children’s beauty pageant is planned once again for Friday night along with the ever popular Ghost Tour!
We are also planning more things for Saturday afternoon and evening.
