There are people dressed in Revolutionary War-style garb. They are telling stories about war camp life and the types of clothing and arms they are wearing and carrying, but it is 2010 in Wyanet. The people telling the stories are Barb and Tyler Peterson of Wyanet. It is R.A. Sapp Library’s 2nd Thursday@the Library program for March.
