Abstract:

The Old Soldiers' Reunion, once celebrated annually in every county seat, is now a memory shared only by older North Carolinians. Catawba County is the only exception, celebrating the event for sixty-eight years. Held on August 17, the festivities will feature a parade, and attendees include North Carolina Governor Terry Sanford, as well as Senators Sam J. Ervin and B. Everett Jordan. Aside from the parade, other activities include a Confederate cannon firing from the courthouse lawn, a carnival, and a Confederate Costume Ball.
