George Washington's Mount Vernon Revolutionary War Reenactment 2023

      I'm extremely late in posting this.  I usually write up about my events for posterity pretty close to the actual event, and am finally settling back into regular life after the spring events to get this out there.

     After spending the Fort Frederick Market Fair in the rain for a couple of days, drying out my canvas the few days I had before this next event, I was exhausted.  But the back-to-back events leading to the Mount Vernon Revolutionary War event is so worth the effort.  The events staff at Mount Vernon are really amazing people, and so helpful and accommodating.  The shop was set up and ready to go in record time with help from those friends who support me and my horses (and have stuck with me for a long time).  Those are the people that you know are in your life for a reason and a lifetime.  I have had others help for a season, and they ended up walking away due to their own issues.

      I wanted to thank everyone who stopped in to see me, and those who also purchased!  It is greatly appreciated and never taken for granted.  Here are a few photos from the event!
