I'm so close, but won't be able to see this. The June 24th Wilmington (NC) Star-News reports that a special program will be held this Saturday, the 27th, at Fort Fisher.
The public will be able to experience how the fort's defenders lived in the "Garrison Life" program. Cannons will be fired and uniformed re-enactors will offer demonstrations.
At 2 PM, local author Chris Fonvielle will talk about his new book "Louis Froelich: Arms-Maker to the Confederacy."
The huge cannon atop Shephard's Battery will be fired at two-hour intervals.
Sure wish I could go, but I'll be back in Goldsboro getting ready to return home.
Oh, Well. Next Time. --B-R'er
