A couple of celebrations up here have already been postponed. Oak Ridge cancelled their show a couple of days ago.

Knoxville's is going to be rain or shine.
 
So on our vacation, we took the kids to the Secret City Festival in Oak Ridge. They had games, a zip line, chemistry exhibits and hands on experiments. The big draw we thought was going to be the WWII exhibits and military demonstrations. They had US, British, and German re-enactors in full uniform and weapons.

It was great, except they did not do any battle re-enactments. They had a .30 cal machine gun, .40 cal mortar, and a howitzer firing demonstrations. They had the soldiers advance in echelon formations, but no battles.

The reason? The Oak Ridge City Council decided that battle re-enactments would glorify war. For a city that was developed because of the war?


Everything else was okay, except the battles. For a city that was developed because of the war and played a vital role in ending it.

Oak Ridge leadership is retarded.
