Real gold, mythical battles, bagpipes, green beer, dancers dedicated to St. Patrick's Day in Culpeper
blogkoopedia - The Irish's fortune will be on display in Culpeper this weekend for a full schedule of events dedicated to St. Patrick's Day.
There will be bagpipes, Irish dancing, gold hunting, competitions, live music, green beer, special menus and the opportunity to walk in the steps of a St. Patrick's Day battle that took place here 160 years ago.
American Battlefield Trust, Culpeper Battlefield Tours, Culpeper History Museum, Culpeper Tourism and the Brandy Station Foundation are all involved in the sold out Battle of Kelly's Ford's 160th Anniversary Tour, which is led by the Culpeper Historical Society.
Overshadowed by the brandy station cavalry's clash several months later, the battle of Kelly's Ford on March 17th, 1863 was still significant in the way the U.S. cavalry increased their capacity to defeat their Confederate counterparts during the American Civil War, according to a release about the event.
Major John Pelham, who was born in Alabama, perished while riding toward the conflict after having a conversation with several pretty girls in the city. His fame subsequently led to his name being added to the reservoir of the town, this new name is Lake Culpeper.
Author Dan Davis, along with the American Battlefield Trust, will lead a three-hour tour of the site that will begin at 10 am. from the Graffiti House in Brandy Station.
On Saturday in the Town of Culpeper, it will be St. Patrick's Day on Kelly Street, a green-themed fundraiser for the Kelly Street Boxing Club that benefits at-risk youth. The celebration sponsored by Jon Russell will begin at noon and end at 4pm, the first part will feature bagpipes and a kid's procession.
Irish dancers and singers will appear on stage at 1pm, followed by a King & Queen Ginger Contest (all redheads are invited to participate) at 2pm, and a treasure hunt for real gold for children at 3. Tickets are $10 for adults at Eventbrite; children under 12 are free.
