Our Morgan's Rifles group. There were 18 riflemen, 9 ladies, and 6 children present from our group. The event was a living history at Ft McArthur in San Pedro CA. A good number of histories were represented and there were some very cool displays and demonstrations. Helen did just fine, in fact we were asked several times if she was a real baby. It's such fun educating people about colonial times. Sara learned how to make bobbin lace, and Tom received many compliments on his sewing skills. We look forward to our next event on Labor day weekend. Pray there are no fires.
