Pretty in Pastels

Why, I do declare! I believe that I have found Scarlett, Melanie and Suellen!

Well, they really didn't come to life from the pages of Gone with the Wind, 

but they will surely add charm to this weekend's Selma Pilgrimage!

They are Junior Hostesses and will assist visitors at home tours and other venues. 

And look! I didn't forget St. Patrick's Day. Two of them are wearing green.

Pilgrimage Headquarters (where you can buy tickets and tour the museum)
at the Vaughan-Smitherman Museum opens at 8:30 AM both Friday and Saturday 
and closes at 4 PM.  Home tours are 9-1 and 1-5.
Other venues have varied hours and days.

The Southern Belle Dash!

Junior Hostesses who will help out at this year's Historic Selma Pilgrimage met at Sturdivant Hall yesterday for a publicity photo shoot, After pictures were made, I caught a couple of them running across the lawn. Then, when I uploaded this picture, I had to laugh when I saw the footwear for the girl in the foreground! (Click the photo for a larger view.)

Skywatch Friday (Battle Skies)

It's Skywatch Friday, and Southern belles anxiously watch the action as skies above the battlefield fill with smoke. The Battle of Selma reenactment was held last weekend and gave attendees an authentic demonstration of American Civil War battle tactics, fashion and lifestyle. The reenactment is held at Riverside Park where many soldiers in the actual 1865 battle fled or even swam across the Alabama River to escape.
