The ECW evening group and the Port Royal Ruritans sponsored the concessions at the annual Port Royal July 4th celebration. Helping out from St. Peter’s were Linda Beck, Bill and Phyllis Sue Carpenter, Carolyn Duke, Dave and Dutchy Fannon, Stanley Fields, Terri Harrison, Jim and Elizabeth Heimbach, Catherine Hicks, Marian Mahoney and Fred Pannell. Phyllis Sue projected that $1,000 would be netted from the day to be split between the Ruritans and the ECW.
The cookbook group, including Barbara Wisdom and Betty Kunstmann sold over 30 cookbooks for the day.
In addition several parishioners were involved in the planned activities. Clio Coleman, Nancy Long and Mike Newman were at the podium from the beginning. Nancy helped open the festivities and Clio gave the address for Historic Port Royal. Mike presented the annual Declaration of Independence reading. Becky Fisher helped with the children’s crafts. John Gililiand was a member of the militia.
