The line to buy tickets was long so decided to wait on that. There apparently were just two vendors on site and one had long lines. The other, a more limited selection, but only a few in line. Pop was reasonable at $1 as was water. An elephant ear was $3.
The other food vendor had hot dogs for $2 and hamburgers for $3, also quite reasonable, but again, the lines were too long.
Watched part of a talk in a tent and then talked with some folks at a booth from Kinston and congratulated them on the outstanding job that city is doing with its Civil War heritage including the two battles fought there and the CSS Neuse, a Confederate ironclad. The actual hull of the ship is in a covered structure and an exact replica of it, called the CSS Neuse II, is also on display at a downtown corner.
Not only that, but they have an excellent Civil War visitors center on US-70, and, of course, that non-Cvil War Carolina bbq at King's.
