Cyrano de Bergerac Cape
In a recent discovery upon watching Cyrano de Bergerac, yet again, the 1950’s film featuring Jose Ferrer (the man on the left), is wearing the very same brown cape as Dennis Strawderman wore in the recent Henricus Militia group photo. The picture taken from this years 2016 Opechancanoughs 1622 Offensive event at Henricus Historical Park.
Interestingly enough, the cape was purchased several years ago on ebay from a seller that acquired a large amount of stock from the Western Costume Co. The cape was made of wool with high quality braid lining the edges.
Henricus Historical Park wins best vehicle at the 2014 Midlothian Day Parade
Saturday October 18th, 2014 marked the 21st annual Midlothian Day Parade in Richmond, Virginia. The parade, which is the largest of its kind, draws the entire community every year to celebrate the rich history of the area, with up to 50 local guests and businesses featured in the parade.
This year’s Grand Marshal was Howard C. Canada for his contributions as a volunteer with the Midlothian Volunteer Fire Department for over 43 years. We salute you!
The Henricus Citie Militia represents the Henricus Historical Park every year which is coordinated by Militia Captain Dennis Strawderman. And this year we were fortunate enough to win the Best Vehicle Award. The vehicle is a 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom Open Tourer refurbished by Richmond locals Ron Blackburn & Dennis Strawderman. You can get a glimpse of the car at The Car Club Council Car Show at River City Diner, Midlothian area, Huguenot Rd in the Shops at Bellgrade.
