While many of you enjoyed a three-day holiday we were working most of the weekend. The campground was busy and there was a lot to be done. We did, however, get Monday off and since one day was not enough to go very far or do very much we went back to the Illinois Railway Museum for the Memorial Day, World War II re-enactment event. It was a good show. Above is the wagon ride with some w/e campers.
All the displays and props were from the WWII era. This is a 1941 Chevy, beautifully restored - probably better than it was originally. Cookies were served in the depot - they were oatmeal sweetened with molasses, typical of recipes during the war years when sugar was not available.

Battle re-enactment in the railway yard. Allies won.

That's all for today.
