so here goes,
I will be collecting donations for the Perryville fence drive through the end of august. At that time I will be ordering the rails for delivery to the park before the event. We will be putting up the fence the Wed before the event, around the corn field where the ghost walk will be done after the sat. afternoon battle. Last year we had a total of 200 rails donated. over the past 4 years I think we have brought up a total of 350 rails. This year the 140th anniversary I am hoping to motivate you all into donating 1400. if we get that many we will be able to have completely fenced the cornfield as it was fenced prior to the battle in 1862. the rails I am getting are split black locust. we will also be getting allot of culled rails for free, to use in Dom Dal Bello's battalion camps on sat night.
the rails with shipping added will be cost 4.50 each, there is no minimum donation, any thing that you can give will be highly appreciated. you can send your pledge in check or money order to
