What is fun to watch?
war reenactments
Ahhh...I found out that there were people reenacting the Civil war before the real fighting had ended.
sad
Time magazine actually did research and one year they found that there were more than 50,000 reenactors in the U.S.  That's pretty amazing.
wow that very good info 
It's hard to believe that over 50,000 people want to reenact that war...but it has apparently grown in popularity.
