From Ed "Michael Arrowood is very good with CW and
Henderson County History. He is the event coordinator for a BlueGray
Heritage Weekend program sponsored by the local SCV to be held in Mills
River, NC. Which is basically near the Asheville Airport, convenient to
I-26. It will be the weekend of May 1st, they will be pretty strict
about vehicles in camp, and would like folks to arrive Friday night.
The focus is on living history, though I'm sure there would be firing
demonstrations. There may be a skirmish, numbers permitting, but I
think they would be more interested in cooking demos, talks, drill,
sabre and otherwise. I also thought it would be a good shakedown for
those wishing to attend Pickett's Mill."

Living History at Guilford Courthouse
Military Park. The park's head ranger Donald Long is really
looking
forward to us coming - they rarely have horses in the park. This
is a
great opportunity for us and if we pull it off correctly it will open a
lot of doors in the future! We should really put forth a max
effort to
attend.

Neill Sez: "The Symposium will be at the SC
Archives And History Center as it was last year. The PLHA has the
opening lecture from 8:30-9:15am. The title is: "Supplying the
Confederacy: English Arms and Equipment through the Blockade".
This is a very large and expansive topic but one I know we can do a
great job with. Basically, we'll give a general overview of the
blockade, CS purchasing efforts abroad and the goods that were brought
in and actually used by the Confederate soldier. There will be a
big focus on having the attendees see the goods on the soldiers along
with passing articles around. This received rave reviews last
year and I'm sure this year will be no different. I am going to
be contacting Chris Daley to see if he would be willing to partner with
us on this and supply some English overcoats, Tait uniforms, etc. to
use as demo pieces. As a special treat, PLHA participants will be
able to attend the evening dinner with author Gordon Rhea as the guest
speaker."
