Many Faces of the American Revolution Event

The Fort Cooper Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will honor President Washington's Birthday with a wide variety of fun-filled activities at the Lakes Region Library on Monday, February 21, 2011 from 2 - 4 pm.

The Sons of the American Revolution, in period costumes, will present the colors.

DAR and SAR members will perform skits about the Patriots who fought with both pen and musket to win our Independence and form our new nation.

This event is an active and fun way for everyone to learn about the American flag, colonial music, clothing, toys, a day in the life of a farm family and Patriot Ancestors.

Because there is no school in celebration of Presidents Day, presenters encourage adult attendees to bring youngsters in their family or neighborhoods. Handouts will be included, and students will receive a certificate for participation, which they can present to their teachers.
