Blue & Gray Reunion Everyone is encouraged to attend and experience a piece of America's history. You can relive the year 1861, when the first land battle of the Civil War was fought. Re-enactors will highlight important moments in our history. Also, Civil War campsites will be erected for the public to enjoy. Imagine yourself at the campsite of a Civil War soldier. Other activities will include a Southern Belle Contest, a parade, crafts, a Civil War ball, and food everywhere. Area artists will have their paintings on display and the Community Education Outreach Service will host a Quilt Show. Twenty five dollars will be given to the Best of Show. Don't forget, there is a Blue & Gray Park, featuring the five flags that flew over Philippi, Virginia, during the first land battle of the Civil War. Travel back 145 years and dress for the occasion. The "Southern Boys" are sure to make you feel like it's 1861.
