As a member of the DAR, I wanted to share the following information with our list. First, a great big THANK YOU to all who attended our 4th of July Statue Dedication of the Rev. War Soldiers who are buried in Washington Co. You helped make the celebration a wonderful time. Second, below you will find information on another DAR event that will take place during the Highland's Festival. I thought it might be a nice thing for those who are out of town who may be planning on coming to the festival to know of this event: VA Highland's Festival Presents.... "A Colonial Tea" by The Black's Fort Chapter of the Daughter's of the American Revolution Come enjoy the tea and meet these women on July 29. Each has a story to share of their lives here in SW VA during the American Revolution. 2 sittings @ 1:30 pm & 4:00 pm Tickets are $15.00 and are available from any DAR member or from the front desk of the Martha Washington Inn. A special door prize will be given to one lucky ticket holder. The door prize will include: -- a night's lodging at the Martha Washington Inn --2 free tickets to Barter Theatre --dinner & breakfast for 2 at the Inn ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please forgive that this is not a posting for a search for ancestors, but this is a part of our history for this area and I thought this might be a good way to get the word out. Pass along the information to those who may be interested.
