Muskets flashed and cannon's thundered at George Rogers Clark Park Saturday, May 6, 2023 during the battle reenactments for the Prelude to Revolution - The French and Indian War event. Spectators got the chance to see a French and a British encampment and talk to the reenactors about the battle for the frontier in the wilderness that was Ohio during the French and Indian War between 1754 thru 1763. According to Kristopher Shultz, one of the event organizers, another goal of the event was to allow reenactors to break out their kits and check their equipment to get ready for the reenactment season which runs from late Spring to Fall. The event which started Saturday and runs through Sunday at 4p.m. is $5.00 for adults and children under 18 are free. BILL LACKEY/STAFF
