This past weekend’s WWII Tank Demonstration Weekend was a total success even though some challenging weather rolled through on Saturday making conditions a bit more “realistic” to the mud that the Allies might have encountered on their way across Europe in 1944 & 1945! Despite the occasional rain showers on Saturday, we welcomed over 3000 visitors for the weekend!![]()
