"Sure, we'll have a few muskets out there, but it will be a lot more than that," With New Jersey draconian anti-gun laws, there may be NO musket "assault weapons of their day" out there...

Nice! They hold similar events here in the Carolinas. An anniversary of the Battle of Savannah, GA, iirc, was a hugh event for Revolutionary War reenactors in recent years.

that’s good that people don’t forget our past and the sacrifices made, keep history alive and keep further generations interested.

Thanks Coleus for the post and ping.
I will be away on business the 24th (and it's the NFL Draft also), but I will be there on Sunday. All Freepers who will be there on Sunday could perhaps meet for brunch at George and Martha's.
The Short List--for subjects of more limited appeal and/or limited to Northeast region (Freepmail me to get ON or OFF the Short List)
