I know there’s a few more things that I’m missing if you would reply to this post, or e-mail the crew 1298 yahoo group with them and we’ll get them on the agenda.
I want to thank everyone that was able to come out for the great job they did with the setup and tear down. We were one of the 1st groups in, and the 1st or 2nd group out at tear down time. This was the best year as the wagon was ½ way home to Corsicana at 3:45 and by that time I was unloaded at Camp Wisdom and on my way home. Much different from the years before where it was starting to get dark before we were started home.
We had lots of traffic though out the day with lots of questions and oos and ahh’s .
Let’s get ready for a good meeting June the 12th at Camp Wisdom with some blacksmithing in the morning and maybe a lunch as it looks as we will have some visitors.
Setup the chuck wagon (no Canvas), setup display tables with blacksmithing items & foundry items, setup display table with highland books and stuff.
We will be talking taking questions and promoting the programs, and recruiting.
Anyone who can come out even for a little bit will be great, especially around setup and tear down time.
Scout show runs from 10:00 am till 3:00 pm, We can start setting up at 7:00 AM.
We are working out the exact time that we will meet and were we will meet at this time.
If what I am saying is different from the meeting please let me know as I was not able to be there, and this is from the discussions I have had lately with a few people.
We also need to get a roll call of who will be at scout show and what time you can come out and help a little.
Please let us know via the yahoo group, if you are not on the group, please sign up, or use the contact us form to the left.
I know some have finals on Sat., (why they would do this I have no clue), just so we can see who all can come help.
The annual trek to San Antonio for the Cowboys for Heroes event was a very special time this year. With nearly 20 cowboys, cooks, reactors, Patriot Guards & etc. were coming from all over North Texas. Gail & I left Corsicana @ 4:30 & had a pleasant drive arriving around 11:00 followed by the rest of the team. We picked out a spot Big enough for 1298 Wagon Randy May’s Wagon & BBQ Smoker, right by the stage, together our set up was pretty impressive sight.
The Friday evening the Meal was provided by Randy’s 4C Wagon & BBQ & Crew. The brisket & ribs were great, and the other 10 wagons thought so too.
Sat Morning early was fast & furious, with the weather very pleasant this year. It was fun working with some new additions to share the work load.
This year we served beef tips and gravy, biscuits, mashed tatters, beans, 2 kinds of cobbler, and some of the best bread pudding ever made in a dutch oven. We served all we had and ran out of food, so I guess it was good? OH! And I didn’t see any bodies lying around on the ground. Whew! That is always a good sign.
After loading up sat evening we went to a popular eating spot and had a good time for the 3 F’s (Food Friends & Fellowship).
The trip home Sunday was pleasant & all arrived home safely.
The key Fobs presented to all the Military from 4C’s & 1298 were really a hit.
Photo’s have been published under the Highland Night Out Gallery for 2010.
I would like to thank everyone for coming out, I think we all had a great time.
I will add some more details to this when I have a few more seconds, but for now please enjoy this video of some of our members, and crew 3 members square dancing.
