Prattville Dragoons Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 Fall Muster - Clay Shoot and Covered Dish Supper

Members and friends of the Dragoons of SCV Camp 1524 held their annual fall muster on Saturday October 28th with Philip Edwards and his wife hosting at their beautiful home.  His property allowed for a terrific range to shoot clays out from his back yard while those spectating could sit under the shade of his back porch and canopies erected to cover seating and tables of food.  It was a great turnout with around three dozen members of the camp and their significant others, families, friends and neighbors all enjoying a warm sunny late October day in south central Alabama.  Members in attendance included Commander Waldo with his family, 1st Lt Suttle, 2nd Lt Wade, Adjutant Sutherland, Treasurer Leverette, Color Sgt Dennis and his wife, Quartermaster Myrick, and compatriots Bill Branch and Dede, Rob Schwartz, Tyrone Crowley, Earl Edmundson, Todd Rogers and his son, Conner Blackmon, Dale Boyles and Darrell Haywood along with a number of invited guests and neighbors of the Edwards.  The ladies helped set up the food for a delicious supper which included camp stew, Conecuh sausage, jambalaya, hamburger tot casserole, baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, black eyed peas and rice, corn casserole, and desserts including blueberry cobbler, cakes including Mrs. Myrick's yummy hummingbird cake, and banana pudding.  Earl even brought out some bacon wrapped pigeon breasts.  An abundance of delicious food.  Most took the opportunity to get in some clay shooting using two electric throwers Philip set up along with a couple hand throwers.  A range of shotguns including double barrel, pump and semi-automatic 12 gage, 20 gage, 28 gage, and 410 shotguns were all used to shoot clay pigeons and a couple rifles were brought out later to do some additional target shooting.  Enjoyable fellowship abounded for this shoot and supper at this edition of the Camp 1524 fall muster.
