"The week had started off with cloud bursts through out the days leading to the event, that made everyone fearful that we would have to move the entire display due to flooding. As the event was getting under way the rain had dissipated and things were on the way to drying out. This was a good sign to the start of the event.
The opening ceremony started just a few minutes behind schedule due to things beyond the color guard's control. But as soon as things were cleared the color guard did its performance without a hitch. No one was able to tell if there had been any problems that occurred. The color guard is looking forward to the next performance as the lead element of the Avonmore Harvest Festival parade.
The weather held out until later in the first day and we were able to have a great day with the display before having to worry about the storm that came through the area. The display went on despite the heat and the touch of rain that happened over the weekend. This just added to the realism of what we were trying to bring to the people. A good show was done thanks to all those that came and helped to make it a success. The vets that we met were impressed with what we were doing and thanked us for doing it.
This was the second outing that our dress uniform was worn and seen by the public. The discussions that this opened up was great as we had opportunities to let the public know who we were and what our programs were about.
In all aspects I, as president of the organization, would say that this was a successful event. Was the event perfect, by no means. But the things that did go wrong some we couldn't control and others we have to work on. As we know this is an ever growing group and we learn more and change things as we grow to meet the needs we face." said Captain Jon Baker, TLE
