Christmas Event in Fort Martin Scott

So nice that the Christmas event at Fort Martin Scott is back! Last year, it was canceled due to the covid related limitations, and it was quite a disappointment.

This year the place was crowded with kids, their parents, and other visitors like us. Despite that, we managed to meet Texas Santa Claus in person and talk to him for a little while.

Later, we walked around the fort ground - we had been there before, but always enjoy visiting the place.

There, we met the Texas Rangers, an Infantry and Dragoon men (members of the reenactment group). Talking to the men was really interesting.

 
 

Then, there was the presentation which included a brief lecture and weapons demonstration.

The original cannon cartridge is quite big and filled with metal balls



That was a good visit, we had a nice time. Merry Christmas!
