Got the following email from HMI this morning:
“Please help us commemorate the First Battle of Manassas during our Sesquicentennial Event, July 21st through July 24th! This four day event will feature living history demonstrations, speakers, art, music, and many other historical commemorations and activities for all ages. A strong base of volunteers for this event is an important part of the planning and making sure the outcome is a success. Historic Manassas, Inc. needs your help with this! An overview of volunteer opportunities is listed below. We hope that you will join us in making these commemorative events a success!
