Zoar Update!!!

Gentleman,

As one of the event hosts, we are working hard to make this event the best in Ohio. We have Camp Chase Fifes & Drums for the weekend, a new 42 acre battlefield located behind Federal camp, and we also have a film company flying in from NYC, to make a 2-hour documentary for the History Channel. We hope we can call on you for some of the scenes that are planned. Will make ya famous!

We are going to have a larger showing of Cavalry, due to the fact that one of their very own is getting "hitched" in the Zoar garden.

We are working on two lines of defense, in the form of two trenches with breastworks for the always "out numbered" Rebs. I've lost count of the number of Artillery, but they will be able to boom away throughout the battle, without worries of infantry or cavalry intrusion.

At Zoar we don't discriminate, we've got all the vices equally covered! The Zoar Community Association who sponsors the event, will be selling beer at the big tent, but we hope that you will wait until after the battles to indulged yourself. Otherwise our Provost guards will run you off.

We have a period gambling tent set up next to Bizzie Libby's House of Pleasure, so please bring lots of greenbacks and don't forget to tip the Provost.

For the ladies, we have a pie baking contest, rolling pin toss, ladies tea, fashion show, period wedding and shopping at some 20 vendors at sutlers row. Ladies please bring your husbands credit cards! If you go home "Zoar Poor" than you had a good time!!

Pray for good weather and I look forward to seeing you all in September!

Mark L. Gaynor
Capt.51st. OVI (Provost)
