2025-09-20 08:00 - 17:00 | Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park, 1651 W. Elk Ave, Elizabethton, TN, 37643, United States
Per discussions with the staff of Sycamore Shoals and we have concluded that moving the Gathering to
the weekend of September 19-20 would provide a new perspective on the Gathering. They had
already planned to have the fort full of reenactors displaying different pioneer chores in the cabins
of the fort, cooking, sewing, making black powder, plus many other things that will tie to the launch
of the Overmountain Men on their march to Kings Mountain on Sept. 25. We would have to move
the Gathering ceremony to the Amphitheatre, but that has now been updated and will be comfortable.

Details will be forthcoming

In the early morning hours of October 9, 1779, the Battle of Savannah occurred on the current grounds of Coastal Heritage Society’s Tricentennial Park.

Presentation of Colors - Sunbelt Ag Expo - Moultrie, GA - Noon

Presentation of Colors at the Sunbelt Ag Expo at Noon (please be onsite by 11:00 AM) in Moultrie, GA
Sunbelt AD Expo, 290-G Harper Boulevard, Moultrie, Georgia 31788-2157
We need to know of your participation AT LEAST TEN DAY in ADVANCE

*******************
Presenting the colors at the Sunbelt Ag Expo in October will certainly be a feather in our tricorns. The luncheon begins at noon so we need to be on site no later than 11:00. Guardsmen need to allow extra time as traffic is usually congested at Spence Field, site of the Expo. Since most of the guardsmen live north of Columbus and Macon, they may want to come the night before. If so, they need to make arrangements as soon as possible as lodging is at a premium for miles around during Expo. There are only two hotels in Moultrie that I would recommend, Hampton and Holiday Inn Express. There are quite a few hotels in Tifton which is 30 miles north. They need to make a reservation as soon as possible. I will need to let Expo know how many passes we need 10 days in advance which would be Oct. 4.
If the guardsmen have never attended Expo, they may want to spend the afternoon walking the grounds of North America’s premiere farm show. The Expo includes a 100-acre exhibit area with both indoor and outdoor exhibits adjacent to a 530-acre working research farm. Exhibits also include lawn and garden, hunting, fishing and family living. The show is held at Spence Field, site of a World War II Army Airfield training facility. Some remnants of the airfield are still visible. I’m sure they would generate attention as they always do walking through Expo in their Continental attire.
Thomas Coleman is the coordinator and has invited anyone with a camper to park it at his farm which is about 17 miles from the event site.
