Fredericksburg in Zoar
As we have all experienced with the outragious gas prices, events closer to home are looking more and more appealing. Mark Gaynor of the 51st Ohio and I have been in touch regarding a new small event this December in Zoar, Ohio.The Angel of Marye's Heights - Battle for Fredericksburg will be held on December 6-7, 2008. It will feature a winter encampment and battle in the streets.
I am trying to get three or four companies together who want to participate in this unique event. If you have ever been to Zoar Village in the winter, you can really appreciate what Fredericksburg must have been like in 1862.
Please talk to your pards and drop me an email in the next month. Visit the Zoar web site at http://www.zca.org/. You can download the information flyer at the link below...

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.
May 23-25th: 5th Ohio Maximum event - Burton, OH. The registration fee is $8.00 for ALL participants. This is regardless of whether you are 2 or 50. Please have your money to Ken no later than May 1st.
May 26th: 5th Ohio Maximum event - Cuyahoga Falls Memorial Day Parade. No fee, but we need to know in advance who is coming.
