Sgt Johnson Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Attention! Attention! For those who will be joining us for the Friday night parade of arms down St George St., we have added something special for the evening. After we finish our march and demonstration at the redoubt by the old city gates, Searle's Buccaneers will provide dinner at the Taberna del Gallo , located on St George St. This is a period tavern with cold beer and good prices(they also have great Sangria!). Bring your feast gear and mugs and join us for the festivities. We will then return to camp at the Fountain of Youth to continue the jollification. "For God and the King" Sgt.
