added a War Between the
States Living History
Encampment," says Bill
Stankiewicz, Festival
Chairman. The living history
will have soldiers and south-
ern belles. The site is the
Victoria Belle, 602 Main

Hogansville Library. This
Civil War reenactment will
be a first for Hogansville and
is expected to draw big
crowds.
"Most of all we've got the
people of Hogansville ready
to meet, greet and delight our
many guests. They like noth-
ing better than to show off
this beautiful town and this
is a great opportunity to do
so. Ya'll come on down and
see why we're so proud.
Besides, it's going to be a fun-
filled weekend. It's a real fam-
ily treat!" added Stankiewicz.
The festival and fair cul-
minates more than five
months of planning by local
leaders. It's Hogansville's
major fund-raiser for the
year and this year has a spe-
cial significance. Residents
have formed the Hogansville
Charitable Trust, a nonprofit
organization dedicated to
civic restoration.
The monies raised by the
festival will go to the needed
matching funds for two
grants that the town has
received.
"All the money goes for a
good cause," Stankiewicz
continues, "but what's more
important is the great time
we're all going to have rais-
ing it. This festival will be
such fun. It's going to knock
all our socks off!"
