The Dragoons of SCV Camp 1524 enjoyed a beautiful fall day on Saturday October 17th at the camp's fall muster. The event was held at the Dismuke's property just south of Millbrook as it has for the past few years. Close to thirty members and their friends and family were in attendance over the course of the morning and early afternoon as folks were able to shoot some clays and enjoy a BBQ picnic. The camp provided pulled smoked pork butts and beverages. 1st Lt Grooms and 2nd Lt Wade brought a couple crock pots of camp stew. Karl also brought Conecuh sausage which Will grilled for appetizers. Quartermaster Myrick brought his world famous baked beans and hummingbird cake. Others brought sides including potato salads, pasta salads and corn casserole in addition to desserts like brownies and cookies. Too much good food. A number of guys enjoyed shooting the clays with Commander Waldo and his children and Adjutant Sutherland helping to throw the targets. Just before the picnic dinner was served a flag retirement ceremony was conducted to burn a number of old weather and worn US and Confederate flags in a fire pit. 1st Lt Grooms led the ceremony and Commander Waldo's daughter played Taps on the trumpet. It was a lot of fun seeing some members who we don't get to see often at camp meetings and everyone's significant others. Beautiful day, good food, wonderful fellowship and a great time.
