Finding family through history.
Many of the individuals participating in historical re-enactments get to know one another through the events. For the DeBary family, make-believe became real life.
Jeremy DeBary, who travels with his family to events and festivals across the state, was part of a re-enactment that had men raid a settlement and carry the women off. DeBary says that during one particular re-enactment, he swept a woman off her feet and carried her away "into the woods."
That woman he tossed over his shoulder is now is wife, and the two travel to re-enactments together with his parents and their young son, Jeffery.
The DeBary family (featured photo) are just a few of the people that will showcase what life was like in early Florida. The Heritage Crossroads organization is hosting the Second-Annual Flagler Heritage Festival, where guests will enjoy live music, historical booths, food from local businesses and collections of classic cars and motorcycles.
The Second-Annual Flagler Heritage Festival is being held at the Thunder Gulch Campground, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 28-29 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
