I talked with HAMMER SIX today after his meeting with Ft. Thomas folks and we thought you all would like to have an UPDATE on everything. Let's get to the big news first. The SHERMAN IS COMING TO FT. THOMAS!!!! The Army is going to be going up and getting it on the Sunday before and it will be there through Sunday afternoon, the 14th. Ft. Thomas will be selling $5 raffle tickets for 3 lucky winners to ride the tank.
I don't know about you guys, but I am pretty jazzed about this news and the Ft. Thomas people are just as excited about it as we are.
Next there are going to be Civil War reenactors there and probably an encampment. The Civil War doctor will be there with his instrument display as well. I have seen this guy before. This is a cool setup.
The Reserve unit will have additional vehicles there. I'm hoping for an
M-113 personally.
It's official, there will only be 1,000 kids coming through the exhibit Wednesday through Friday, rather than the 2,000 we feared. And... the
Ft. Thomas folks are going to print our activity sheet that we made for the kids. There also be a guest speaker each day while the kids are there; the granddaughter of one of the Fort Commanders, who fought in the Civil War and was killed in the Spanish American War. That could be pretty interesting.
Ft. Thomas will have Dog Tags for Sale.
We will have Uniform Displays and Display of WW2 Christmas items
And of course we are expecting Toychest Hobbies and War and Pieces to be there. Toychest has already paid for their tables.
Hammer Six has even more details which he will share with everyone, but these are the highlights and I thought you all would want to hear that both the tank and Toychest are confirmed. It is going to be a great show.
Until next time, have a good one!
