I won't be since I'm not a reenactor. But I wouldn't be surprised if you hear from some who are who may be at some of them. May take a day or two to hear since tomorrow's Tax-Day. Got a feeling the board may be dead, but give it time

Thank you sir for the list, I'll make good use of it! I see you're only 20 minutes from Lone Jack. My mom is about that far, she lives outside of Holden. You anywhere near there?

I appreciate the thought, but I'd rather be dead than in a Confederate Uniform. No offense of course  Blue Springs huh? I see where South is the 2006 Class 6 State Champs. They weren't too bad of a team.

So, I'm the only LOYAL missourian on this board? Since I'm not a traitor and all Kidding! Proud Unionist thank you. Wouldn't have it any other way. Speaking of football, did you make it up to the Edward Jones Dome for the State Title game? I did, but I went to watch Webb City win their 7th State Title since 1989. I'm a 2001 graduate of Webb and like to keep up with the team.

You're not the only Loyal Missourian around anymore. I wear the blue coat in the otherwise swarming seas of rebs we have around here.
On that list of events, Fortescue is going on that last weekend in October. I noticed you had some question marks by it, but its a definite. You all should try to come out, I'll be there!
