Sept.
29... We had a great time once again at the Murray's
Mill Fall Festival. Everyone enjoyed the food, crafts, farm
equipment and art displays, and especially the Civil War (War of
Northern Aggression, as they say around here) reenactment of the
skirmish (battle) at Murray's Mill. All day long Saturday
and on Sunday afternoon, we were blessed with some great groups
from all over the Carolinas. |
