Today is the first of two days of the Fest at the Fort a yearly draw that includes: Soldier for a day, pony rides, free tours of Custer House and the On-A-Slant Village, melodrama, cowboy action shooters, watermelon splitting, mail call, gunfights and live music. This is one of the busiest days at the fort and one that has lots of Historical reenactors playing: officers, enlisted men, officer's wives, scouts, laundresses, doctors, infantry solders, artillery soldiers, and the General Custer. It promises to be a festive and busy couple of days.
