 The 2022 annual Southeastern Kentucky Chamber Awards night is September 27th for tickets call 606-432-5504. You can also watch live on the free Mountain Top TV app. The Battle of Middle Creek reenactment will return September 9th through the 11th for the first time since 2019. The weekend will feature three battle reenactments and a 9-11 memorial. So not only does the battlefield feature for the public the reenactments but there's also several educational stations around everything from a spinning wheel to learn how the clothing was made because that was a huge reason. One of the main reasons that the Union side was able to win is they had proper clothing during the winter. So they'll be able to see that a blacksmith music they'll be able to see bugles and how those calls are made harmonica and just really kind of step back in time for a moment. The Battle of Middle Creek and the Battle of Ivy Creek reenactments will be held at 2pm Saturday and Sunday and a special night battle will be held at 8.30pm on Saturday. The Middle Creek battle it wasn't the largest it wasn't the most prominent in the Civil War while it was really prominent in Eastern Kentucky because it was the largest. It changed course for a lot of history so one it was really important to President Lincoln at the time that they win this battle because the Union side desperately needed a victory and it was so important that they won that in his home state of Kentucky but then it also opened up a pathway into Virginia and West Virginia and then from that battle President Garfield actually led the Union troops to victory on this battlefield and later ran a lot of his presidency campaign from not only that battle but the really good deeds that he did while here. The event is free to the public and open to all ages. For more information visit Prestonsburg Tourism on Facebook. For Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
