Burton weekend successful
I just wanted to thank all of you who came to the Burton Civil War Days, and the Cuyhoga Falls Memorial Day Parade. We had a GREAT turnout and really showed what the 5th is all about. With over 17 rifles at Burton, and a dozen at the parade, we finally are starting to see the numbers in the field that we saw back in the late 90s. Let's keep it going!!It was also a pleasure to have as our Wing Commander, Paul Baltzer, the 1st Battalion Commander from Birney's Division. Lt Col Baltzer is looking forward to us coming to Thunder Valley in July. Birney's will also be attending Hale Farm in August.
With the month of June now open, I hope that all of you will muster to Thunder Valley on July 29-31 in McKean, PA (10 miles south of Erie). Please contact Ken Hillegass as soon as possible if you are planning to go. I would like to field at least 12 rifles for this event.
Your Servant,
Captain Christopher L. Smith
Commanding

April 26th: 5th Ohio Unit Drill Day at the Log Cabin in Lodi. We will be doing live firing once again. There is no registration fee, but we do need to know who is coming. You will also need to supply your own powder and projectiles for the live firing. We will more than likely make a small donation since they allow us to use their grounds and range.
