Don't forget all the Memorial Day events going on around the area. Anyone going to the ceremony at Pioneer's Rest Cemetary in North Ft Worth on Monday?

Do they have one at Pioneer's Rest?. . .I always thought the big ceremony was at Mt. Olivet?

One of the techs I work with does radio controlled race car events and there is a national level event called the Texas Biggie going on this weekend just outside Burleson. It lasts all weekend and has several races a day. Could be good for honing those panning action shot skills. Here is a link to the event page: http://www.rcrcnt.com/Biggie_2006.htm Or do a google search for Texas Biggie 2006.

Keith,
The one at Pioneer's Rest is mostly reenactors that represent old Fort Worth (circa 1830-1850). The ceremony is near the graves of the first to die in the original settlement. Couple of years ago they had cannon salute and everything. However it is a pretty small event.
