    parade poorly attended

    well the parade was lousy, it was very cold. no mvpa members or reenactors showed up. we hitched a ride with the Hot Springs FOE, and fed by them after the parade. I dont blame the general public. it was too cold to stand out there for a parade.. My uniform isnt fitting so well anymore.
