The 11th Annual Civil War Preservation Ball on March 29th was a great success. The sell-out event raised over $8,500 for the Gettysburg Monument Endowment Trust Fund, bringing the total for 11 years to $75,000.
Dance music was provided by the Philadelphia Brigade Band and the dancing was led by the Victorian Dance Ensemble. Boy Scout Venture Crew 1861, portraying the 1st Pennsylvania Reserves Fifes and Drums, greeted the arriving guests and Mr. Lemuel's Red Mill Serenaders played for the intermission.
Over 200 people came to dance in the beautiful rotunda of the Pennsylvania Capitol Building. Our guests travelled from Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia and ranged from preteens to seniors.
Special guests included State Representative Harry Readshaw and his wife Carol, State Representative Dan Moul and his wife Lori, Gettysburg National Military Park Superintendent Ed Clark and his wife Heidi and son Reid, Barbara Mowery, President of the Gettysburg Battlefield Preservation Association, and President Abraham Lincoln, portrayed by our good friend Jim Getty.
