Nice War of 1812 celebration write-up, Dorene!
I wish could be there too! There was an historic home to tour, and lots of vintage music. The re-enactors were awesome!
So cool! I didn't know that happened there - and very nice collage. :)
There are still events going on tomorrow! The strolling minstrels are charming!
