The Jefferson Davis Cookout was a Blast!

The Pelham Camp annual cookout honoring our first and only President, Jefferson F. Davis was held on Saturday, June 17th, 2000 at Germania Springs Park in Jacksonville. Good food and fellowship was had by all. The band "Unreconstructed" provided the great Confederate music and several of us participated in a lively, but usually low scoring, round of horseshoes. This lasted til everyone went home late that afternoon. Plan to attend next year to join in the fun and food!!!
