The surgical instruments still disturb me. I can’t imagine how anyone endured the pain of “medication”!!! Thanks for the comment. It was indeed a wonderful event for those who attended and for the city.

Looks like such a fun and educational event. Bill looks like quite a colourful character. I bet his poetry was a great success. I think the surgical instrument display would have made me shudder. 8O

It brings history to life and makes it fun. Just wish I could get around to doing everything.

It’s a great way to introduce young people to history. Colorful characters and hands-on activities bring history to life. The Civil War surgical tools should be submitted to this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge: Creepy!!! Hmm. Now that’s an idea!

This is a great cast of characters. And the other activities are great, too. All the historic houses are grateful for the influx of visitors. For our town, this is a win-win!

It has turned out to be a premier event in the area. It’s well-attended, and children enjoy it as much as adults. That’s saying a lot when it comes to history!

You’re so right — we have to get ’em while they’re young. And make history interesting so they’ll get hooked. Thanks for commenting.

I love history and culture. Loved the costumes!

It’s also very important to pass it on to the new generations, they have to know how fortunate they are to live in these modern times but yet respect the past :)
