Okay, I kind of missed printing this before the date it happened. My excuse is, "I forgot to run it." However, it's good to see the Fruends of Fort Fisher, to which I belong, getting operative again after you-know-what.
From the May 24, 2022, WECT (Wilmington, N.C.)
In coordination with a Friends of Fort Fisher capital campaign to fund new earthwork projects at the site, a living history program will be held on Saturday, June 11.
It is a free event and will highlight the history of the blockade runner Modern Greece and include the always popular cannon firings, a Confederate soldiers encampment, artillery and infantry demonstrations, guest speakers and special guided tours. (There will be a small charge for some of the tours.)
Re-enactors will also demonstrate routine activities like sick call, pay call, rationing and weapons training.
The day's events are scheduled to run from 10 am to 4 pm.
At noon, the Friends of Fort Fisher (to which I belong) will kick off a capital campaign for work to be done to the fort's earthworks. All of the fort's programming is made possible by the Friends of Fort Fisher, a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing this national treasure.
