Battle for Columbia
Remember to spread the word about 2005 Battle for Columbia. The re-enactor team led by Lt. Cmd. Tommy Rollings has lined up some exciting units, Infantry, Artillery and Cavalry. There are units registered not only from S.C. but also Georgia and West Virginia.
If you did not participate in or attend this event last year, you really missed a lot.
Lots of help will be needed so get in line and lend a hand. A very important activity needed is in getting out the word. Do your bit by passing out flyers and youth tickets, put out yard signs or sporting a BFC sign magnet on your vehicle.
There are opportunities working at the site for carpenters, assistants, landscaping, getting material to the battlefield, or just helping out where needed.
Please help.
You will enjoy time and fellowship with your compatriots, there is so much that you can do to help, so commit and get on-board.
