Opening Council Fire 2009



A moment of silence followed by a flag ceremony and recording of the battle of Ft. McHenry and the making of the Star Spankled Banner. Thank you to Craig Lindsay with the Oregon Trail Muzzle Loaders for this production.


It was truly an amazing way to start our Rendezvous for the Memorial Day Holiday.

Thank you also to Tyler Talbot (Pot Gut) for being our Flag Bearer.

OEMM is glad to announce that the Rendezvous was another great success this year. We seem to grow just a little every year. We have a few more cannons every year, which doesn't make everyone happy. However we do what we can to keep them to day time hours. Sorry it doesn't always work that way.

We are deeply saddened that one of our rendezvousers was tragically lost this year. Our hearts go out to the family. I wan't to thank everyone that helped Tim, his family and the emergency teams that night. I also want to thank everyone that participated in the auction that took place on Sunday night at council fire. It was amazing to watch all of the spontanious acts of kindness and love flowing toward Tim's family. There were several thousand dollars raised that evening.
