The Fort Sill Half Section will be here again this year, but this time, they’ll perform a live demonstration. This unit is the last of its kind, an accurate representation of the U.S. Army horse-drawn artillery units that served in World War I. They use original saddles and hardware, and tow a WW I era 75mm M1897 field gun.
As usual, a variety of vendors will be on hand to provide food, drink and lots of other offerings.
