Panama City Salt Raid Re-enactment This Past Weekend-- Pat 1

From the May 3, 2015, Panama City (Fla) News Herald "Weekend Warriors: Civil War Re-enactors gather on Beach Drive to mark 1863 Saint Andrews Bay Salt Raid" by Collin Breaux.

On Saturday afternoon, May 2nd, a thirty minute battle was re-enacted where Confederate soldiers defended St. Andrew's Bay salt works from a force of Union sailors and Marines landed with the intent to destroy.

I wish I'd known about it as I might have tried to go to it other than the thousands of motorcycles between me and Panama City.
