Easton Heritage Day 2017

Each year, Easton, PA celebrates its heritage on the day the Declaration of Independence was first read aloud - or on the weekend closest to it.  The Frontier Guard has been attending the event for several years, and each year we have watched it grow and get bigger and better.  This year was no exception.  There were military and civilian reenactors from every era, a parade, and even the Budweiser horses at the end of the day.

Ron and I went, and while our display was perhaps a bit smaller and different from Capt. Pitchell's beautiful collection, the huge crowds seemed to enjoy it.  Ron brought his diorama, which I featured in an earlier post, and the public loved the attention to detail of it.  They also responded well to the items I brought along, and was an enjoyable and successful day.

Even General of the Armies "Black Jack" Pershing was on hand, adding personality to the military timeline.

  

4th of July in Blairstown

Each year Capt. Pitchell sets up in Footbridge Park of Blairstown for the Blairstown 4th of July festival.  This year I was able to join him for a short time and snap a photo or two.  As usual, the display looked great.
