22nd N. C. Troops, Company B 2008 Calendar Special note: look for new videos on www.youtube.com under "snakesteve68" -- four good ones there! Below is the latest schedule for the 22nd N.C. Regiment, Company B, also known as Kirk’s Raiders (3rd N.C. Mounted Infantry, USA) and 8th N.C. (Burke County Home Guard). We are looking forward to our best year yet, and we have selected a wide variety of events to keep us busy. There should be something for everyone here! All events except as otherwise noted should be as fully attended as we can muster, and all are excellent opportunities to drill, learn and teach the public. However, maximum effort means exactly that – we would like to have absolutely as many of our members as possible attend those events! Company B fees known at this time (payable to the Captain): $12 insurance. Insurance can also be purchased for any family members who participate in events. (Please report any event-related injury to the Captain immediately so that a proper insurance claim can be filed.) Calendar current as of 8/24/2008; for more information on any event contact: Capt. Gary Wycoff 216 Lower Creek Drive NE Lenoir, NC 28645 (cell) Adjutant Michael Arrowood 123 Brightwater Falls Road Hendersonville, NC 28739 Special note: Unless otherwise indicated, all events on our schedule are shooting events! That means bring weapons, caps, rolled rounds and extra powder. In some cases we may not be able to fire weapons, but we should always come prepared.
