It’s the Rebs who are at the Apple Festival, which is a little odd since right around the corner from the Main Street portion of the festival is a historic sign commemorating the mustering of Union troops. This is Yankee territory here, but manufacturing plants have  brought Kentucky families up this way and with them, the Confederate Re-enactment Group.

Three out of four of my great-grandfathers where Union soldiers and when I visited my paternal grandparents, I slept with a picture of my grandma’s father looking over me. She used to say, “Wasn’t he a good-looking young man.”

Roy wasn’t a bad looking fellow either; he was the picture another bedroom.
