Day: July 6, 2026

This year with the focus on the 250th after the Camp Charlotte attended the Ashville 4th of July parade event we traveled down to the village of Williamsport to assist in the opening of the 250th celebration event at Ballard Park. This was a first for Camp Charlotte SAR and the Pickaway Plains DAR chapters so planning was a little difficult but it all turn out well with the host being appreciative for the work involved. We presented the colors while the Circleville Barbershop Quartet sang the National Anthem and then offered a 3 volley salute to finish off the opening ceremonies.

This year for the 250th celebration the Granville Union Cemetery Board in partner with both the Son of the American Revolution and the Daughters of the American Revolution participated in portraying the various revolutionary war veterans buried at the Old Colony burying grounds in Granville Ohio. Our own Camp Charlotte members had a number of cast involved in the affair. The temperature for the day stayed a warm 90+ degrees so ice water was very important to be around to try and keep cool.
