Drilling and Games
We are also seeking persons or units willing to set up drilling and game areas for the public to participate in. We would have you demonstrate a drill as a unit and then drill the public with wooden muskets. Then we are looking for persons to set up and man games and activities or crafts for kids. Suggestions welcome. If you don't have ideas but like working with kids sign up anyway, we have ideas.
Sabbath Service
Since the Sabbath service was very much a part of our 18th century past we would like to show the importance of it with full 'town' attendance staying for the entire service. If you've never heard Henry Cooke preach-- and the sermon will be in accordance of the recent activities of the 19th, and then line out a hymn or two-- you're in for a treat! / Demonstration Ideas
