Ft. Clark Days- 3/4 & 3/5 2011. "PEOPLE"

The people that come to these festivals are great. They are really educational regarding history and some of them are even descendants of soldiers that were stationed at the fort.

These guys were fun to chat with. They said it was SO windy last night and they were rockin' and rollin' in their tents.

This guy was very informative. He showed us and told us all about making bullets in the bullet molds he had.

The folks that come to these events go to 3 or 4 "Frontier Days" per year and come from Waco, San Antonio, Ft. Stockton and even St. Louis. This guy talked alot and did a good job playing "TAPS".

Buffalo Soldiers played a BIG part at Ft. Clark as they did at Ft. Davis. This guy is telling this lady all about his saddle and other equipment. Yesterday (Friday) the festival hosted 1500 school children. I bet they loved it and learned alot.

One of the many Indian Dancers of all ages. The wind was blowin' their feathers all over the place.

This guy is simply a-contemplatin'.

That's the great part of reenacting. Just bring you gear with you, live someplace for awhile, then you find out where the local history gigs are, and your usually welcomed with open arms.
