The SW Central Brigade Confederate Flag Day was
a tremendous success Saturday March 3rd in Prattville. The Shiloh Mountain Boys played
period Southern songs as well as bluegrass gospel that they are we'll known
for and the sound was tremendous. They used a trailer as a stage with hay bales propping up their amplifiers. After lunch Tyrone Crowley made a presentation explaining the significance of five flags of the Confederacy
with the assistance of three young men. There was plenty of food to eat including hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, drinks, Compatriot Bill Myrick's World Famous Baked Beans, and Compatriot Will Dismukes donation of Conecuh smoked sausage. Compatriot Josh Stover manned a kid's zone with a bouncy house, corn hole bean bag throw, a snow cone machine and popcorn maker. Total attendance for the day was 75+ ranging in age from 2 months to 90 years. There wasn't a cloud in the sky with temperatures in the high 60s and a venue with green grass bursting forth in the spring festooned with three Confederate flags on flagpoles, the camp's flag display and another couple of Confederate flags on trucks. A beautiful day in the Heart of Dixie!
