2008 2nd Annual Grand Encampment of the Connecticut Line CTSSAR
Compatriots of the Connecticut Line CTSSAR,
The Regiment just returned from the encampment, and I wanted to say that it was a GREAT success. The weather was great, and we had a great turnout. From what I was told, it was a very successful 2nd Saturday. We have been asked if we would like to return again next year, and from everyones comments, it looks like a done deal.
22 Members showed up in uniform this weekend to support the CONNECTICUT LINE CTSSAR's 2008 Second Annual Grand Encampment at the Governor Jonathan Trumbull, Sr. House/Wadsworth Stable in Historic Lebanon, Connecticut. I believe I have everyone listed, but, if I forgot someone please let me know ASAP.
