It is February of 1836, Col. James Walker Fannin has recently reorganized his command and is busy preparing the old Spanish presidio in Goliad for an expected attack from the Mexican army under General Urrea. Col. Fannin's men are occupied not only with reinforcing the walls of the presidio but also with daily drilling, guard duty, scouting patrols and all of the other activities associated with 19th century garrison life. All is abustle within the walls of the old presidio.

   This will be an immersive type event with an eye towards progressive impressions. For the event we decided to portray the LaFayette Battalion which includes a good mix of "uniformed" and non uniformed units from Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and other southern states. Along with the units just listed we will also be portraying Cpt. Guerra's artillery crew known as the Tampico Company. The Tampico Company was made up of soldiers who left the Mexican Army at Tampico, just ahead of the Centralist troops. We will be recreating the daily life of the Goliad garrison and will not be participating in any skirmishes as we are portraying a period before the two opposing forces clashed. This will be a unique event, it will be a great prelude to the actual Fannin Massacre reenactment and will be a primer for the upcoming 175th Anniversary of the Siege and Fall of the Alamo being planned for 2011.

   With the units being recreated and the scenarios in the planning, We think there will be a place for each and every one of you. More information will be forthcoming here so keep checking back for updates. Please consider this event and if you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact us. Thank you for your time and consideration and we look forward to hearing from you soon!
