Marilla New York 2008

[Buffalo-Guard]

Greetings,
There is a rumor going around that Marilla 2008 has been canceled. THIS IS NOT TRUE. It is unclear as to who is spreading such a rumor but it most likely comes from someone who is disgruntle and unhappy with re-enacting. This person of persons have lost sight of the reason we do what we do. It is not for self-aggrandizing or self-promotion but for those who have gone before us. Our ancestors. Is our responsibility to promote the truth about the War Between The States.
