Civil War Days journalists

Erica McClain, Fred Priebe as Abraham Lincoln and Sean
Dalton at Gordon Hall.

Reporter Sean Dalton and I got the rare and fun chance to get involved with Dexter's Civil War Days this past weekend. By involved I don't mean "cover" the event but rather we got to re-enact with President Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd.
State Rep. Mark Ouimet and Reporter Sean Dalton chat
at Gordon Hall.

Fred and Bonnie Priebe, who are professional Lincoln re-enactors and attended last year's event, were phenomenal. There were points when it was unclear whether the two were re-enacting or simply talking. They were simply amazing.

A huge thanks to Donna Fisher and her daughter, Abby, for inviting us and letting us borrow period-correct clothing.
