first aid, rifle marksmansip and
close-order drill. Teamwork and

Although the Marine Corps is
scaling back, its investment in
high-quality recruits continues.

"Pageant
The Easter Season will be here
soon, and as in years past,
Fredericksburg will again stage
the Fredericksburg Easter Fires
Pageant. The Pageant is held on
an outside stage at the Gillespie
County Fair Grounds on the
Saturday night before Easter
(Sunday, April 16, 1995)
beginning at 8:15 pm.
Everyone is invited to this
Pageant which is performed with
a cast of about 600 people, most
of whom have participated in this
pageant for many years.
Refreshments such as
hamburgers, cupcakes, cookies,
sausage, hot chocolate, cold
drinks, and the like will be
available on the grounds. Since
we never know about the
WEATHER, wraps and coats are
suggested for the evening. The
grandstand is covered and there
is reserved and general
admission. Special space is
made accessible for the
handicapped. Parking is at no
charge.
We would like for everyone to
come visit Fredericksburg and
see this most unique and
beautiful Easter Fires Pageant.
The Pageant is a unique blending
of the "Fable of the Easter
Bunny" and the history of the
founding of Fredericksburg to
form a most delightful folk
festival.
