AND THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS!
This coming weekend offers a
great opportunity to turn the clock
back to the early 1940's to see how
the men and women who served our
country lived during World War II.
The annual WWII Days Encampment
will be held at the test track in Berwick.
The track was used to test Stuart Tanks
which were manufactured in Berwick at
the former AC&F Factory. 15, 224 tanks
were made to support the war effort and
9,135 local workers did the job. The
Stuart Memorial Association has presented
the encampment every July since 2015!
There are all kinds of equipment and
demonstrations including battle scenes
and weapon firing exhibits. The video
version of this blog contains some
samples! It's all to honor those who
served both on the front lines and in
defense jobs like those that produced
the Stuart tanks. My Dad was one of
those men! It's a trip back in time
you're sure to appreciate! Hope
you'll swing by and that all your
NEWS is good!
