    This is a little outside the normal scope of WWII reenacting, but since the event is being held on a wonderful WWII-era venue I thought some of you might be interested anyway. It's a unique opportunity!

    Ahem:


    You are invited.......

    .....to an 1860s Victorian ball on the hanger bay of the USS Yorktown in the Charleston, SC area this coming April as part of the events surrounding the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War.
