Because the event continues to grow in size, Saturday night dinner will be on your own, rather than hosted by the trustees of Historic Camden. Wood will be available for campfire cooking and downtown restaurants will offer uniformed re-enactors discounts. McCaa’s Tavern will host the Jollification from 7:30–11:45 pm.
