Just for fun I went on you tube and found the 1963 movie Johnny Shiloh. Well, it was fun to watch.

Spectators-
A couple things for you.

In order to help finance this event we are charging a $5.00 admission and that will be cash only for those 12 and over.

There are a couple scheduled activities that are free to the public. 7-9 pm on Saturday a camp dance will take place on the grounds. Many of the reenactors will be there in their uniforms and dresses dancing to period music. Who knows they might even grab you to learn reels, waltz and such as done in the late 1800’s.

Sunday morning at Forest Hill Cemetery at 8:30 reenactors and cemetery board members will honor the 80+ civil war veterans buried in this one cemetery. Public is invited.

Finally, parking for spectators is on the streets of Canton and a short walk to the grounds. Please be mindful of driveways.

See you all for this event next weekend.
