Well, i got this at the regatta a few weekends ago (we ate at Louie's) and i meant to put it on the blog but i kept forgetting. but it's still a ways off so here you go...
OLD SETTLERS DAYS
Kampsville, Calhoun County, Illinois
October 11 & 12, 2008
Demonstrations of Old Time Skills . Quilt Drawing
Food Specialties . Live Entertainment
Children's Activity Area . Fiddle Contest
Mountain Men Activities . Carriage Rides
Riverside Encampment - Area Limited
Marquette & Joliet Re-enactment
Civil War Re-enactment
Admission Free
"One of the nicest, friendliest events of the year."
(Please leave your pets at home.)
That is everything on the flier (except a picture of a steamboat that i would rather not find and add) and it looks pretty interesting.
Something it didn't really clarify, it's not really a civil war re-enactment but it is demonstrations of civil war stuff. The cavalry does a few demonstrations and the artillery shoots over the river on and off all day. or at least that's what happened last year. It's tons of fun and lots of stuff for everyone to do.
It's about an hour drive to Kampsville but well worth it. Calhoun County is probably my favorite county in Illinois and i'm sure many would agree with me. There's plenty of stuff to do in that area and it's well worth it. And, if we work this out right, we might be able to 'shoot' at you as you cross on the ferry. that's what we did to my dad last year. it's really awesome and i think you should all come.
