Last year was the first time the SCV and UDC had participated in the Pine Tree Festival in modern times. Over 4,000 public school students and over 1,000 of the general public toured the Living History site. It was a tremendous success and we were invited back as the most popular exhibit.

This year, a battle re-enactment has been added, and we need blue and gray.
