Never attended an event, but I should.
My great great grandfather hung out with Johnny Appleseed.
My grandfather told he was mostly into Cider, and showed the Indians how to make it too.
They had huge parties back then.
Thank you for posting this.
Would they let me use my flintlock there?
Added a bookmark on my desktop for it.. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
My old Dad participated in the 200th anniversary re-enactment of the events of April 1776, while I shot movies with my 8mm Bolex. He carried an original Brown Bess, which (I hope) my brother still has. Hard to believe that was 49 years ago.
I got interested in this thread because my ancestorswere Loyalists had to move out of Cambridge, MA up to Cornwall because of their views. They then grew apples - and other things - and their trees, or at least some of them are still growning. How did this group get the name?

I did a couple of Appleseed events—and I was in my 60s. Learned a lot about American history.
Happy Patriots' Day
I wish every US citizen 15-18 years old could have that experience. It might change the world, at least our part of it.
Did a week-long sesson (camped out) in Ramseur, NC many years ago. Enjoyed the heck out of it. You don’t want to arrive late to a class...you will get embarrassed. Been to a few other events at the Ramseur range.
April 19, 1775 ceased to be mentioned in newspaper and magazines over 40 years ago. Too many bad things happen around that date.
Columbine Massacre
Waco Massacre
(S)Hitler birth date
OKC explosion
So now it is ignored lest someone go off half cocked.
