The 4th's first event of the year had an admirable turn-out: 22 members over two days. The Puyallup Antique Show is a favorite venue to meet potential recruits and share history with interested parties. It's also a lot of fun to visit the booths! The January meeting was held late on Saturday afternoon; notably, the event schedule for the year was adopted.

The infantry had a good show, even if rain prevented
the usual firing demonstrations on Saturday. |
Thanks to Mr. Talbot, our sometimes Gen. Lee, for organizing the event, setting up tables, chauffeuring various persons, and even providing Saturday's lunch. Many individuals contributed to the display, notably Sgt. Hick's "junk on a bunk" set up, Mr. Evan's book collection, and Gen. Grant's field desk (and accouterments). Mrs. Talbot's antique quilts were also much admired, as were Miss Dories' beautiful hand-pieced quilt "squares". Additional pictures are on the company Facebook page, courtesy of Mr. Evans.
There will be no February meeting or drill on account of the Superbowl, so the next meeting will be at Fort Steilacoom on March 6th.
