On Friday morning, February 10, members of the East Fall Line Region and the Little River Chapter, Georgia Society Sons of the American Revolution traveled to Elijah Clarke State Park to participate in their Annual Heroes of the Hornets' Nest event. They arrived at 9 a.m. and quickly set up three of their cannons, 2–6-pound field guns and 1-6-pound mortar. Beginning at 10 a.m., they fired a one round volley of all three cannons and another at 11 a.m. and 12 noon. Between the cannon fire, Compatriot Steve Burke and his assistant presented his traveling trunk to attendees. At 12 noon, approximately 150 participants were treated to a fantastic lunch at the park recreation center by the "Friends at the Park". The afternoon program consisted of an update on the Kettle Creek Battlefield by Compatriot David Noble and individual SAR, DAR Chapters and organizations presenting 96 wreaths to honor those Revolutionary War Soldiers who died during the War. At the end of the event a three round alternating volley was fired by the Elijah Clarke Militia using their flintlocks and the Brier Creek Artillery using their three cannons, then the Taps were played by the bugler.
