Thank you all who came out to Fetterman Day yesterday! A big thank you to Heidi McCullough and the Friends of Ft. Fetterman who organize this event year after year. Also thanks to the many members of the Converse County Historical Society, and numerous volunteers who also came to set up and tear down the event! Without all of you, this event can truly not happen.
