Exclamation Reenacting in a Church!!
Yes sir!!!

My unit (11th Texas Cavalry) is being asked to recreat a small battle inside the 2nd Baptist Church iin Houston, TX. The scenario is that we will fire several volleys at each other the a Abe Lincoln interpeter will walk up and ask for reunion and all while The Battle Hymm of the Republic is being sung by a 200+ chior!!! The Church is huge!!! It has several thousand attendance every sunday!!! Its going to be on July 1 and 2 (were celebrating the 4th of July but on the weekend)

We will be using 20 grain loads and we made sure the fire and smoke alarms wont go off already!!

It sounds like its going to be a Heck of a 4th of July party!!!

If I was in the area, which I'm not, I'd definitely go to Church. Have fun.

I have to agree that this seems a touch odd; powder burned in a church just doesn't seem right to me. I have given Living History presentations in churches and worked hard to make congregations understand what made those men of 1861-65 so increadible and so human. They were men who sacrificed their livliehood, health, their very lives and even their souls for a cause they believed in. Please give them the honor they so richly deserve.
