I am excited to tell you that Sunday I got back from Linden, TN for the Remember WWII reenactment. (You can find all about how it started here at their website http://dominionskills.com/remembering-wwii/) I must say for the first event I was very impressed! I'm sure it can only get better from here. The family that hosted the event was so nice and everything was very well conducted! There were even lots of reenactors there to make it special!
I even got to meet the Boyer Family Singers who were so nice and are a wonderful singing group. They started singing 40's only a year ago and have a CD out which we were able to purchase. Their main inspiration is the Andrew sisters who were a huge hit in the 1940's. Their website is http://boyerfamilysingers.blogspot.com/ where you can learn about vintage things, their singing, tutorials and lots of other fun things.
One of my favorite parts was the battle that took place in the square. The town was set up so it looked like the Germans had control and then the Americans came and took control. I have only been to one other battle(Tunnel Hill), but this was very action packed, it moved a lot faster and it was fun to watch. From my understanding there isn't hardly any WWII reenactments in the US so there was a nice turnout and hopefully it might spark some interest.
Now for a fun tidbit, my friends and I started a reenacting group called the Bonnie Blue Gals! I am so blessed I found friends that have shared my interests in fashion, theater, and history. I am hoping we will start an official blog soon and will be able go to more reenactments to spread the word. I think we are so in love with the name we aren't sure of what are group will be doing but as soon as I find out I will post it here.
With that being said, three of the four Gals made their debut at the Linden reenactment.
