Blackthorn Folly took a step back in time yesterday to perform at the Civil War re-enactment weekend at the Pinecrest Historical Village in Manitowoc County. Thank you Ryan Zunker and the Manitowoc County Historical Society for the opportunity to perform for your evening dance party ! It was fun seeing the colorful costumes and watching the dancers enjoy the Virginia Reel, and the flirting during the broom dance! Thanks again for the invitation.
