The Dragoons of SCV Cano 1524 enjoyed another annual picnic on Saturday April 27th at Confederate Memorial Park in Marbury. One of the covered pavilions was reserved and over forty members and their families and friends gathered to enjoy this annual rite of spring for the camp. Rob Schwartz provided music on his guitar for everyone's arrival. Color Sgt John Dennis set up flags and banners. A short program included salutes to the flags, the retirement of old weathered flags gathered from local cemeteries during the recent efforts to place flags as part of the Confederate History and Heritage observance. The camp also swore in their officers for the coming year including Commander Grooms, 2nd Lt Wade, Treasurer Leverette, Adjutant Sutherland and Chaplain Brantley. 1st Lt Suttle was not able to make the event as were a couple other members but those who could, enjoyed a beautiful day and delicious food. The camp provided BBQ pork from Smokin S which Quartermaster Myrick had picked up and chopped along with bringing his world famous baked beans. Everyone brought a side or dessert to share.
