We had one of our cannons at the event. Although it was either raining or 100% humidity, we got three shots off with no issue. Always nice to a little secret sauce to put on the quill (a little fresh power from a period brass dispenser).

I know, where have we been? Well, we’ve been busy. I just didn’t find the time to make updates, and it got away from me. So, here are the last seven months all rolled up into one post. These were the events we attended, there were 17 other events planned, but were cancelled due to weather or other unforeseen reasons.
All in all, it was another busy season. With the ramp up to next year's 250th in Charleston for Carolina Days and the expected focus on more Rev War events, we expect to be busy again in 2026. We already have quite a few requests for the new year.

Here is the listing of events the cannons supported from the last posting 19 April, through the end of the year 2025. And photo's from many of the events. , , , South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust, Southern Campaign 1780, South Carolina 250,
