Members needed for two Parades on Memorial Day!

Members of HMI, we have a chance to do two parades this year on Memorial Day and get a nice donation from both.($). The first parade is in Yardville, NJ which we have done for the past two(2) or three (3) years.  This event is put together by Karl Fritzinger who does a great job and has a great party afterwards at his home in Yardville. 

The second parade that we have a chance to do this year is at Kennett Square, Pa who will give us a nice donation ($) for ten (10) or more members from HMI. Olga Leake has been in contact with KS and has been working closely with them.  There will be refreshments after the parade.   Food, beer, soda!

Both events want a timeline from us.  We can do this if everyone comes out and helps.  There are many members in Pa. and enough in NJ to handle these two events and give them both a timeline.  Please help us out this year and come support these two events.

 

AAR From Matt Moore on the F & I Event at Ridley Creek

April 12th HMI's French-Indian impression held there yearly event at the Colonial Plantation in Ridley Creek State Park. This year we kicked off the plantation's public calendar. Along with five members of HMI we were joined by Regiment de la Reine, the 60th Foot, and a few militia types. The day was cloudy and overcast but warm for April with a few streaks of sunshine during the event. We had 2 Tacticals based around the farmhouse, the first had the French raiding party attack and drive off the farmers, only to be confronted by a group of Rangers/Militia. After a sharp firefight the weight of the French numbers scattered the remaining English into the woods. The French then took over the house and looted all valuables. They wanted to fire the house and barns, but were talked out of it. Action number 2 was a replay of the first but, this time the English were able to pin the French down in front of the house and force what was still remaining to surrender. So all in all a very good day for us and the folks at the plantation, and the most important thing, it didn't rain. Up next The 250th Battles of Carillon. (Ft.TI)
