Upcoming Events
Confederate Memorial Park "Living History"
Day – 4-5 April 2014. Excellent educational opportunity for parents
and children, and this year there will even be a skirmish on Saturday 5 April
(same day as Dragoon picnic). See http://www.confederatepark.com/ for more about the Park and this event.
Dragoon
Picnic, Saturday 5 April 2014, 10 am - 2 pm, at Confederate Memorial Park. At 9 a.m. we will
set flags on all 300+ Confederate graves at Confederate Memorial Park,
Cemeteries 1 and 2. Bring your children
and grandchildren, who always enjoy this activity and help us finish in under
an hour. Afterwards, we will all enjoy
food and fellowship at Pavilion #2, next to the Confederate Library. Dragoons will provide paper and plasticware,
BBQ and camp stew, and members are asked to bring other dishes, salads, and
desserts to share. We will have a
sign-up sheet for food at the March meeting, so check with your wife.
Confederate Memorial Day at the
Capitol - 28 April 2014, 10 a.m. The United Daughters of the
Confederacy is hosting the annual observance of Confederate Memorial Day on
Monday, 28 April at 10 am at the Capitol Confederate Monument in Montgomery.
Plans include period music, an honor guard and a speaker, but the highlight
continues to be the Confederate Roll Call. A microphone is passed around the
audience and each person attending is allowed to name one of his/her
Confederate ancestors, and state his rank and unit.

Monuments - 28 April 2014, 6 p.m. This is
our annual service in memory of our Confederate ancestors, held at 6 p.m. for
those who may have had to work and thus missed the 10 a.m. ceremony at the
Capitol and for the Prattville public to attend. Location:

Primary School.
