Most events entail period camping, food preparation in the open air over a fire pit, moderate military drilling to help in combat accuracy, period dances and balls, and other priod activities.
The events are in no means a "male" only event. The overall atmosphere is a family outing. There are activities for children and women as well.
There are always musicians present and very often as the night wears on the 1st Kentucky will always sing the Kentucky Battle Song.
Through all the fun, all the cutting up, all the presentation of a 1860 soldier, the Alexander Guards strive to present the honor of the time. Gentlemen all, the Kentuckians always want the spectator to remember the diginity and self sacrifice of the southern soldier
The 1st Kentucky came to the southern call early and fought for the glory and left a valiant history....
