The annual Civil War reen- actment will begin each day at 9 a.m. with a battalion dress parade. Battles will take place Sat- urday, Sunday and Tuesday at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and Mon- day at 3 p.m. Medical demos are sched- uled after each battle. A par- lor talk session is planned for 12:30 p.m. followed by a fash- ion show in the grandstands at 2. On Sunday, a church ser- vice begins at 9:30 a.m. In between all of the vents, patrons are invited to walk through the camps and ask questions. Gerald Hilchey will be giv- ing blacksmith demos. “It was always an interest of mine,” said Hilchey, who’s been an reenactor for four years. “I’ve done metal work most of my life and it’s fun to teach. I enjoy sharing the old art form with people.” An engineering unit will also be on site with a pontoon boat they’ve been building for a demonstration. “It’s a step back in time,” Hilchey said. “People do their best to show what’s it was like to live during the 1860s and the Civil War. “People can see camp life and learn how things were done, see how the fi ghting was done, get an idea of how bru- tal the conditions were for the average soldier. There’s also the fun side, too. People just gen- erally having a good time and being with each other during off hours.” Tickets are $12 and in- cludes admission to the Pow- erland Heritage museums and vintage trailer exhibit. Chil- dren under 12 get in free.
