hey were Virginia Reeling the night away at the recent Aster Ball to benefit the Mosby Heritage Area Association. The event was held at Rockburn, the historic home of Donald and Mia Glickman, which includes an expansive ballroom. It was the perfect setting for an exhibition of 1860s dancing—the Cheat Quaudrille, Jeb Stuart’s Ride and Patty Cake Polka, among others—performed by the appropriately costumed Shenandoah Valley Civil War Era Dancers. Mosby President and historian Childs Burden regaled guests with tales of that Confederate rascal, John Mosby, who spent a considerable amount of time wreaking havoc on those damned Yankees in Loudoun and Fauquier counties. Peanut soup and ham biscuits were on the menu, and civilians were able to burn off a few calories by participating in several old-time period dances, as well.
