The Battle of Funkstown reenactment is of an actual battle that took place in 1860. It's an interesting event, which includes the street enactment in front of the Y2Knit yarn shop. This is a "for show" battle in that there never was a battle in the street, rather on a nearby hill. They have a few battles there over the weekend too. Now that hill is part of our nice Funkstown Park and the reenactors set up camp there for the weekend. Some of us returned to the park in the evening for more 97th Regiment String Band music and fireworks. All in all, a very nice day.
The
pics are of the soldiers waiting by the side of the shop. The woman standing behind the artfully arranged bayonets is this yarn shop owner, pictured here with Bryce, Heather Henry's son. Heather took these pics.
