This July, I attended Easton’s Heritage Day for the first time since the pandemic began. I was the only Frontier Guard member able to attend this event, so the display was a bit smaller, but it was a good day nonetheless.
The central square was under construction this year, so we were required to bring a modern pop-up canopy, as we couldn’t drive stakes into the street.
Attendance was perhaps lighter than pre-pandemic, but there were still plenty of interested people to talk to.
One of the best features of this event was meeting the reenactors next to me, the Third U. S. Colored Troop of the Union Army.
They were true gentlemen who put on a great display, including records of all members of the Regiment so that visitors could look up ancestors’ service - a great idea to get the public involved.
The military timeline present spanned from the F&I era through the Vietnam War. This is a great event each year.
