Title: "Shot Heard Around the US" ? Anybody?
Post by: NE Bull on April 18, 2014, 01:06:27 PM: Just noticed Heartland Park is having something. Anybody else planning on attending anything, or putting anything on?

History-
April 19 1775- what is considered the first shot of the Revolutionary War - aka - The shot heard 'round the world.

Maybe WE should have thrown something together. Anyone want to meet me at the Ikes Saturday Morning for a single volley?

Well, be sure to take the time to educate them.

This is a busy and sad day in history, for things that go boom.
