Paws for the Cause with Chris Hart
The year is 1872 and Civil War veteran Thomas Stewart (portrayed by Chris Hart) is about to attend the funeral of a fellow soldier. But this is a very special colleague in arms; a dog named Curly. Curly served as the mascot of Stewart’s company during the war. Stewart’s recollections will make you laugh, cry and tug at your heart strings. A must see for every dog lover and/or Civil War buff.
Join us on Tuesday, November 10th at 1:00 p.m. for this special tribute. This event is free and open to the public.
