It sounds like fun. Can we show up for just a day?

I've got your Danville Tank disc. Sorry I missed the breakfast last month; hopefully this month.

Wish you could have been at Uwharrie.

yeah, one day is ok. as long as your in and setup before it opens to the public. just get me the disc whenever, no hurry. and yes, it was a good breakfast. nothing like a little southern grease to get the pipes lubed!!!!!!!

Russ dropped by on Sat for a while with his Deuce to hang out for a while as well.Great group of reenactors and vehicles,good food,LOTS of history and information on display,and did I mention,LIVE FIRE reenacted battles(WW2 and Civil War),cannon,musket and pistol fire at various times from the battlefield during the Civil war battles and Fire from M1s,Thompsons,M1911s and MG42s G 98s and other WW2 arms.The U S halftrack had some mechanical problems on Sat and the M54A1 was called in to duty to transport 18+ GIs to and from the battlefield and a pass in review each day. I snapped LOTs of pics,here's just a few.
