 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!
