Get ready for cannon fire, cavalry charges and all the trappings of historic warfare, because the Battle of Snoqualmie is coming to Meadowbrook Farm, the weekend of Aug. 29 and 30. The Battle of Snoqualmie is a historic re-enactment by the Washington Civil War Association. The event is open to the public. Dan Rike, of Bellevue, a member of the association since 1997 and Federal Sergeant Major of the Union Battalion, said the group chose Snoqualmie for their event because they wanted a larger population to come out and see it. They want to help educate people on that turbulent time in America’s history. “At the events themselves we set up periodcorrect camps where they portray military and civilian camps,” Rike said.
