In 2009, it was the rain. In 2010, it will be the snow. The city of Alexandria has canceled all major outdoor events this weekend due to the snow emergency in the Washington DC area. Unfortunately, our Fort Ward reenactment is considered a major event so we won’t be doing battle with the Continentals on St Valentine’s Day.
This is probably a good thing since one member was trying to figure out how to cook all the pasta for the company social without power. Like that was an issue in 1781…
More information about the schedule for Alexandria’s President’s Day celebration is available on their website.
The member in question actually thought ahead and all the pasta has been cooked and the drinks (wine, beer, soda, rum, etc) bought. I guess I’ll be eating Italian for a few months. Go ahead mother nature, bring it on – let it snow – I’m ready.
