So I got an email yesterday from one of the guys in the unit and it looks like we have some very cool things lined up for the unit this summer. I can't give the full details yet because its supposed to be "secret" but I can say I am really looking forward to it.

Upcoming Event
On July 3rd this year, Captain Ferguson's Company of the 23rd Regiment of Foot is going to help celebrate the 4th of July in Moorpark. It should be a fun time, with a nice battle before the fireworks begin.
Yesterday I learned that we will have a special guest out here for the event on the 3rd--Major Ken Siegel who is the commander of the 23rd. He is coming out to check out the company and to begin the planning process for a major West Coast event sometime next year. Not only that, but he will preside over the induction of new recruits. That means that by July 4th, I should be Fusilier Jones instead of Recruit Jones. I can't wait for that.

Bearskin
My brand new bearskin has arrived from Texas! When I got home from work yesterday, there was a large carboard box waiting for me. I eagerly opened it and found my bearskin cap. The cap looks really good. The fur is a nice jet black (which will change as it gets faded by the sun) and it fits well when I have my wig on.
Since this Sunday is Mother's day, there won't be a drill. I was hoping that the drill would be moved to Saturday instead, but no luck. I hope I remember everything the next time I do go out there since it has been about a month since I last did drill.

Too Long
It has been too long since I last posted but there really hasn't been too much to right about. I missed the Napoleonic event that took place the weekend of April 28th. From what I have heard, it was a lot of fun. I can't wait to get my Napoleonic kit together so I can join in the fun.
I got an email yesterday about a possible event this weekend at the West Coast Historical Militaria Collectors Show at the Pomona fairgrounds, but due to lack of interest, the 23rd won't be setting up a booth there.
I am looking forward to the next drill. Hopefully I will get my small clothes (breeches, shirt, waist-coat) soon. After that, all I have to do is wait for my bearskin and then I am all set.
