Yesterday, the 35th made an appearance at the historic Vanderbilt House, built in 1730, in Clarkstown/West Nyack, NY, for their Fall Festival.  More information about the house can be found at the link below:

The New Jersey Militia, Heard's Brigade, opposed His Majesty's Finest to put on an encampment on the grounds of the festival as well as demonstrate two skirmishes.  A rather large audience was on hand to listen to the bands playing, see vendors, take hay rides, go pumpkin picking, and talk to the Revolutionary War reenactors.  A spirited engagement wherein His Majesty's forces acquitted themselves well, despite being outnumbered and facing artillery, drew a large body of spectators who appreciated the spectacle.  Good weather, good people, and a good site made for a very enjoyable afternoon.
