SUMMARY:Crossposting 5$ - Celebration of General Meade IS BY INVITE ON
 LY
DESCRIPTION:\r\nSORRY TO SAY THAT BECAUSE OF COVID REGULATIONS,\r\nTHI
 S EVENT IS NOW\r\nBY INVITATION ONLY\r\n\r\nSince half of the name \"A
 gile Philly\" pertains to Philadelphia, it is appropriate that Agile P
 hilly highlight those lesser known events in the city that are uniquel
 y Philadelphian.\r\n\r\nIn that light, General George G Meade who def
 eated General Lee at the Battle of Gettysburg, is turning 205 years ol
 d on Dec 31st, 2020\r\n\r\nA grand event will be held in his honor at 
 his current residence, with many a champagne toast to salute his galla
 nt life and many deeds. Brigantine Lighthouse and Fairmont Park are tw
 o examples of his talent and energy known to us locals.\r\n\r\nThis ev
 ent begins at 11:30 am sharp with a formal parade starting at noon, an
 d it will end in the early afternoon (when all the champagne is gone. 
 Many of us bring extra to keep things going.) This party in the aftern
 oon leaves plenty of time for other frivolities later in the evening.\
 r\n\r\n\r\nWhy Champagne ?\r\nThe great man did not drink whisky or be
 er, but only drank champagne when he did drink, so we toast him with c
 hampagne. Note that Beer will also be available. Great food, drink and
  company will abound, just for a picture of President Lincoln ( $5 ) !
 \r\n\r\nBe there early for parking and to see the sights and sounds of
  true Philadelphians.\r\n\r\nTickets on the website are suggested, and
  there is a $5 cover charge, since quantities of Champagne will be dis
 tributed and consumed. There is no charge for those who come in civili
 an or military attire of the Civil War.\r\n\r\nThis is bound to be the
  event of the winter, so as they say in the 21st Century . . .\r\n. . 
 . Be There . . . or Be an equilateral four-sided polygon\r\n\r\nDirect
 ions to Laurel Hill Cememtery at 3822 Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 1

  for more information about the world's greatest general, George Gordo
 n Meade\r\n\r\nP.S. The picture is of the General's devoted horse, Old
  Baldy, a survivor of many wounds from many civil war battles includin
 g Gettysburg. He is the only civil war participant around today which 
 you can look eye to eye with.\r\nOld Baldy is also available to answer
  any question you have about the civil war, but he is a little slow to
  respond.\r\nOld Baldy still resides here in Philadelphia, and is usua
 lly seen dutifully welcoming visitors to the GAR Museum in the Frankfo
 rd section of the city.\r\nUnfortunately, I hear he will not be attend
 ing the ceremony because of his current mobility problems.\r\nhttps://
