14-15-Jan – Cowpens, Chesnee, SC
We had three
troopers present and several guests from Colonial Williamsburg,
good event
25-Feb – Muster at Brattonsville, McConnells, SC
We have been
given permission by Stacy Brogden to come out and spend either a
day or a weekend at Brattonsville. This will give Stacy an
opportunity to ride with us as well as give us an opportunity to
meet in a relatively centralized location for a muster. (We
would very much like to have our new recruits join us at the
Feb, March and April events so as to present a large contingent
at the May national event to be held at Brattonsville, SC).
18-19 Mar – Battle of Guilford Courthouse, Greensboro, NC
Always a major event for us, at an historic location, adjacent
to the dog park :-)
Apr – Muster at Cowpens (tentative)
Ginny Fowler
is asking for a Saturday demo which we can combine with a
training day, NOT the first two weeks as Ed has conflicts, would
need to be 4/22 or 4/29. OR, we can just do Musgrove’s Mill …
29-30 Apr –
Musgrove Mill, Clinton, SC

6-7 May – Revolutionary War Weekend, Mount Vernon, VA
A bit of a
pull but worth the effort. It also paid well last year which
went into our treasury.

20-21 May – Brattonsville (CL),
McConnells, SC
Major event
for the South this year
Jul – Muster
date and location TBD
Could be
Cowpens. If you like, we could do a Saturday Ride and perhaps
bivouac at Ed’s house.
Sep 1-3 –
Battle of Charlottestown /Bees at Latta Plantation,
Huntersville, NC
A somewhat
low key event with a nice tavern! Small area to ride, but close
by (Charlotte) and the event organizers were REALLY happy to
have us there last year. They have a pot luck dinner planned on
Saturday with amenities.

Oct –
Cowpens School Day, Chesnee, SC
Only need a
couple of horse but the more the merrier, a good fundraiser for
us since they pay.
4-5 Nov –
Revolutionary War Field Days, Historic Camden, SC
Not
typically a dragoon event but a great late year opportunity to
train together, also fairly convenient for the Fayetteville
branch and the WNC/Upstate branch of the unit.
